PLEASE NOTE: On April 9, 2022, Governor Hochul signed Chapter 56 of the Laws of 2022 relating to the New York State
budget for the 2022-2023 state fiscal year. Included in the bill is an amendment to the Open Meetings Law (OML) to make permanent (until July 1, 2024) the expanded use of videoconferencing by public bodies to conduct open meetings, under extraordinary circumstances, regardless of a declaration of emergency. Further information on the Open Meeting Law can be found on the New York State Committee on Open Government website at https://www.dos.ny.gov/coog/.
