Summary

The bill amends Georgia’s open‑meeting statutes so that county and municipal governing bodies, along with a list of specific agencies, may conduct meetings via teleconference. It requires that the public be able to view the meeting live and submit comments without being physically present, and sets rules for quorum and member participation. The change is intended to give local governments more flexibility while preserving transparency.
