An Act authorizing the town of Lexington to allow remote participation at town meetings

HD 965 allows the Town of Lexington to permit remote or hybrid (in-person and remote) town meetings using video or phone platforms, with all decisions having the same legal effect as in-person meetings. It enables Lexington to establish this through a town bylaw and grants the select board authority to mandate fully remote meetings during emergencies (e.g., if facilities become unavailable due to disasters). This directly affects Lexington residents participating in town meetings and changes how they can engage with local government.
