Requires municipalities and boards of education record public meetings and post recordings on Internet.
This bill requires New Jersey municipalities and school boards to record all public meetings (including emergency meetings) with video and post the recordings on their official websites. It mandates that these recordings be available to the public at the same time as meeting minutes, with only the portions corresponding to public minutes released for closed meetings. The law updates the Open Public Meetings Act to enforce this recording and posting requirement, ensuring greater public access to meeting proceedings. The policy change applies directly to local governments and school districts across the state.
