Inexpedient to Legislate, MA, VV === BILL KILLED ===; 04/09/2026; SJ 8
Summary
The bill would amend the state’s right‑to‑know law so that minutes from non‑public meetings must be recorded with each member’s vote and released to the public within three days. Only a small portion could be kept secret if a two‑thirds vote in a public session finds disclosure would harm a person’s reputation, make the action ineffective, or involve terrorism‑related emergency matters. It also requires a public list of any withheld minutes, showing meeting times and the reason for the exemption.
