Open Meetings
Open meetings are the rules that let the public attend and watch government bodies as they make decisions. They apply to many legislative bodies, boards, and councils. State laws set most of the rules, and courts and local officials enforce them.
People usually bring questions about which meetings the public may attend and when a body may meet privately. They ask how closed executive sessions differ from open ones, how notice is given, and how public comment works. They also ask how open courts fit into this idea.
