An Act to modernize participation in public meetings

This bill updates Massachusetts state law to require most public meetings to be held as hybrid events, allowing citizens to attend both in person and online. It mandates that meeting notices be posted at least 48 hours in advance on official websites and in public buildings, including details on how to join remotely. The legislation defines hybrid meetings as those conducted simultaneously in a physical location and via internet technology, while also establishing specific rules for emergency situations and hardship waivers.
