Bill Title: Amends the Open Meetings Act. Removes the condition that a disaster declaration related to public health concerns needs to be in effect to conduct meetings by audio or video conference without the physical presence of a quorum. Provides that the presiding officer shall give a reason why conducting an audio or video conference is in the best interest of the public body (instead of the nature of the emergency) at the beginning of the meeting. Makes conforming changes.
