Copy as parenthetical citation

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, any public body subject to the provisions of this chapter, except for any public body in which members are elected by the public to serve on the public body, may conduct a meeting by means of video-conferencing, provided each attending member’s participation occurs at a noticed public location where members of the public may also attend the meeting. The participation of a member of such public body by video-conferencing in compliance with this section shall be deemed attendance for all purposes, including purposes of establishing a quorum. When video conferencing is used, at least 1 of the noticed public locations shall be within the geographic jurisdiction of that public body. Meetings may otherwise be noticed for multiple public locations within the state where video-conferencing is available. During meetings where video-conferencing is used, each member must be identified, all participants shall be able to communicate with each other at the same time, and members of the public attending at the noticed public location or locations of the meeting must be able to hear and view the communication among all members of the public body participating by video-conference. Video-conferencing participation is not permitted when a verbatim transcript of the meeting may be required by law, except for public hearings on proposed rules and regulations, or where the chair or presiding officer determines that physical attendance is required at a single location.
