*All members, staff, and members of the public may attend and participate in electronic meetings (e.g., telephone, Zoom, GoToMeeting, Skype, etc.). Each member who attends electronically must identify himself or herself when the meeting is convened and must be able to hear and be heard throughout the meeting. Any voting that occurs at the meeting that is not unanimous must be done by roll call. Act 92 eliminates the physical location requirement for meetings of public bodies for the duration of the Governor's declared state of emergency. A public body will not have to designate a physical location in order to meet and, therefore, no one is required to be physically present for a duly warned meeting. The public body must post information on how the public may access meetings electronically. This information must be included in each meeting's agenda and we recommend including it in all notices or announcements as well. The notice and agenda requirements otherwise remain the same.
