This bill, the "Open Meetings Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2026," changes the Open Meetings Act in the District of Columbia. It clarifies what counts as a "meeting" for public bodies, including the Council, and allows public bodies to be briefed on terrorist or public health threats without it being a public meeting, as long as no official action is taken. The bill also states that meetings between the Council and the Mayor are exempt if no official action is decided, and that a meeting is considered open if the public can view or hear it in real-time, or as soon as possible if technology prevents live access.
