Healey OKs remote and hybrid meeting extension

Governor Maura Healey of Massachusetts has signed a bill extending the authorization for remote and hybrid meetings for public bodies until March 31, 2025. This decision allows state and local government bodies to continue conducting meetings remotely or in a hybrid format, which was initially a response to the constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The extension aims to maintain flexibility in how public meetings are held, ensuring accessibility and safety while also addressing concerns about transparency and public participation. The legislation also includes provisions to ensure that these meetings remain accessible to the public, with requirements for adequate notice, public access, and the ability for public comment.
