MA S2206

Amends open meeting law complaint procedures to require complaints be filed within 20 business days, include contact information, and be signed by the complainant

Public bodies must meet to review and respond to complaints within 14 business days, confirming receipt and identifying any remedial actions taken or planned

Allows public bodies to petition the Attorney General for relief from responding if a complainant files more than 12 complaints in a calendar year or if a complaint is unduly burdensome

Remedial actions stated by public bodies in response to complaints cannot be used as evidence against them in subsequent administrative or judicial proceedings

Removes language from public records law requiring that requests "are not intended for the broad dissemination of information to the public about actual or alleged government activity"
