MI HB5335

Recording rights at public meetings do not require prior approval from the public body, though the body may establish reasonable rules to minimize disruption.

Members of a public body must be physically present at a meeting to cast votes; a meeting is not open to the public if a member votes without being physically present.

All deliberations constituting a quorum must occur at a meeting open to the public with a quorum of members physically present, with limited exceptions.

Specifies that the Open Meetings Act does not apply to certain bodies when deliberating specific matters, including workers' compensation appeal boards, employment security boards, state tenure commissions, arbitrators, and the Public Service Commission.

Clarifies grammatical language by replacing "which" with "that" in multiple provisions throughout the statute.
