Concerning emergency meetings of public agencies.

HB 2520 allows public agencies in Washington to hold emergency meetings remotely or outside regular locations when necessary for urgent action during declared emergencies. It requires agencies to provide free, real-time public access to these meetings via phone, internet, or broadcast, and to clearly state how the public can participate. The bill also updates rules for special meetings outside county seats for local concerns and joint meetings between counties. These changes ensure emergency meetings remain transparent and accessible while maintaining public accountability under state open-meeting laws.
