An Act to modernize participation in public meetings
HD 368 requires all public bodies (including local towns, school districts, counties, and state agencies) to make meetings both physically open and remotely accessible to the public. It mandates that meetings must be viewable online via free video platforms without charge, with captioning and accessibility accommodations for people with disabilities. The bill also requires 48-hour advance notice of meetings (posted online and visibly in public buildings), specifies minimum physical presence requirements for voting members, and requires state meetings to be recorded and posted within 10 business days. These changes aim to modernize public access to government meetings while maintaining transparency and inclusivity.
