Enables municipality to allow newly elected member of municipal governing body to participate in meeting where public is excluded.

This bill permits municipalities to allow newly elected members of their governing bodies (like mayors or city council members) to attend closed meetings - where the public is excluded - before they officially take their oaths of office. It requires municipalities to adopt this through a resolution or ordinance and mandates that new members sign an official statement agreeing to follow conduct rules for such meetings, which must be filed with the municipal clerk. The bill does not change when meetings can be closed (covered under existing law) but adds a process for early participation by newly elected officials. It directly affects municipal governing bodies and their newly elected members, enabling them to engage in policy discussions ahead of formal swearing-in.
