An Act amending Title 65 (Public Officers) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in open meetings, further providing for use of equipment during meetings and for General Assembly meetings covered.
SB 726 amends Pennsylvania's open meetings law for the General Assembly. This bill requires the State Senate and House of Representatives to record and post all public committee meetings and hearings where bills are considered or testimony is taken. These recordings must be made available on the General Assembly's publicly accessible website. Additionally, when technically feasible, these meetings must be live-streamed online, increasing public access to legislative proceedings.
