Relates to web-based videoconferencing of public meetings

S 1027 updates rules for local government meetings held via videoconference. It requires most public bodies (like city councils and county boards) to have at least some members physically present for quorum, while allowing remote participation for specific reasons like disability or illness. The bill mandates closed captioning, real-time public access to meetings, clear public notice about virtual options, and posting recordings online within five business days. It also creates a municipal fund to support hybrid meeting infrastructure. These changes apply to all local governments in New York State that hold public meetings.
