A 2051 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires State-level bodies to include option for remote participation in public meetings.

This bill requires state-level public bodies (like agencies, boards, and commissions serving statewide interests) to offer remote participation options for all public meetings. It mandates that these bodies provide electronic means (such as video conferencing) for the public to join meetings online, making it easier for residents to participate without traveling. The requirement does not apply to local government bodies or entities focused solely on local/regional issues. The bill would take effect 30 days after enactment.
