Description
Discussion of S.55 Update to Open Meeting Law at the House Republican Caucus.
On Tuesday, Representative Higley gave a brief update on S.55 in the House Republican Caucus - the bill is currently in the House Government Operations and Military Affairs committee. Representative Higley said CUDs have concerns about having a physical location with the bill due to the large areas of land they can represent. Representative Parsons brought up that his town (Newbury) has one phone line and limited access to the internet which could complicate implementation of S.55 requirements. The committee does not plan to vote on the bill this week.
