We're excited to announce that Senate Bill 1108 - which amends the Opening Meetings Act - has been passed by the Senate and is on its way to the governor for signature! This is great news for Michigan communities. Some of the bill's provisions include:
- Retroactive application to March 18, 2020 to cover virtual meetings that have taken place since then
- Continuation of virtual meetings for any circumstances through Dec. 31, 2020
On this week's Monday Morning Live, our team discussed SB 1108 before it was amended and passed. We also covered a variety of other current topics, including the upcoming lame duck session, gravel mining, and CARES Act funding.
