Summary

The measure updates state law so that county legislative bodies and other public agencies can convene special or joint meetings outside the county seat, and can hold remote meetings when an emergency makes in‑person gatherings unsafe. It requires proper notice, public inspection of minutes, and guarantees that the public can listen to proceedings at no cost. The bill also bans secret‑ballot voting and makes any action taken without following these rules void.
