New provisions regarding recording meetings of public bodies effective April 2011
Legislation now confirms that anyone may record open meetings, so long as use of the recording device is not disruptive or obtrusive. Effective April 2011, public bodies will be required to allow meetings to be photographed, broadcast, webcast or otherwise recorded and/or transmitted to those not present. The new provision also states that public bodies may adopt reasonable rules governing the use of cameras and recording devices during open meetings, in which case such rules must be written, conspicuously posted, and provided to those in attendance upon request.
In conjunction with this amendment, the Committee on Open Government has prepared model rules regarding photographing, recording and broadcasting meetings of public bodies, available here. These rules may be to be modified as appropriate and adopted by public bodies. Should you have questions, please contact the staff of the Committee on Open Government.
