Virginia Freedom of Information Act; definitions, meetings, quorum and electronic communication.

Summary

The bill revises Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act so any gathering of a quorum of a public body is considered a meeting, rather than only up to three members. It also allows members to participate remotely for disability, caregiving, distance, or personal reasons, and those remote participants count toward the quorum if approved. Public bodies must adopt policies governing remote and all‑virtual meetings and follow new minute‑keeping and notice requirements.
