An act relating to three-member boards and the Open Meeting Law

This bill modifies Vermont's Open Meeting Law to permit three-person public boards to hold private discussions and deliberations, provided a summary of these conversations is recorded in the minutes of the next meeting. The change directly affects small public bodies that previously could not discuss business privately without violating open meeting requirements. By allowing limited private deliberation for three-member boards, the legislation aims to balance transparency with the practical needs of smaller governing bodies. The bill does not alter the requirement for public meetings but creates an exception for internal discussions among three-person boards.
