ORDER SUSPENDING CERTAIN PROVISIONS
OF THE OPEN MEETING LAW, G. L. c. 30A, § 20
KARYN E. POLITO
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
WHEREAS, on March 10, 2020,1, Charles D. Baker, Governor of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, acting pursuant to the powers provided by Chapter 639 of the Acts of 1950
and Section 2A of Chapter 17 of the General Laws, declared that there now exists in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts a state of emergency due to the outbreak of the 2019 novel
Coronavirus ("COVID-19"); and
WHEREAS, many important functions of State and Local Government are executed by
"public bodies," as that term is defined in G. L. c. 30A, § 18, in meetings that are open to the
public, consistent with the requirements of law and sound public policy and in order to ensure
active public engagement with, contribution to, and oversight of the functions of government;
and
WHEREAS, both the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") and
the Massachusetts Department of Public Health ("DPH") have advised residents to take extra
measures to put distance between themselves and other people to further reduce the risk of being
exposed to COVID-19. Additionally, the CDC and DPH have advised high -risk individuals,
including people over the age of 60, anyone with underlying health conditions or a weakened
immune system, and pregnant women, to avoid large gatherings.
WHEREAS, sections 7, 8, and 8A of Chapter 639 of the Acts of 1950 authorize the
Governor, during the effective period of a declared emergency, to exercise authority over public
assemblages as necessary to protect the health and safety of persons; and
WHEREAS, low-cost telephone, social media, and other internet-based technologies are
currently available that will permit the convening of a public body through virtual means and
allow real-time public access to the activities of the public body; and
WHEREAS section 20 of chapter 30A and implementing regulations issued by the
Attorney General currently authorize remote participation by members of a public body, subject
to certain limitations;
0 P.- - RCCIC PAPER
NOW THEREFORE, I hereby order the following:
(1) A public body, as defined in section 18 of chapter 30A of the General Laws, is
hereby relieved from the requirement of section 20 of chapter 30A that it conduct its meetings in
a public place that is open and physically accessible to the public, provided that the public body
makes provision to ensure public access to the deliberations of the public body for interested
members of the public through adequate, alternative means.
Adequate, alternative means of public access shall mean measures that provide
transparency and permit timely and effective public access to the deliberations of the public
body. Such means may include, without limitation, providing public access through telephone,
internet, or satellite enabled audio or video conferencing or any other technology that enables the
public to clearly follow the proceedings of the public body while those activities are occurring.
Where allowance for active, real-time participation by members of the public is a specific
requirement of a general or special law or regulation, or a local ordinance or by-law, pursuant to
which the proceeding is conducted, any alternative means of public access must provide for such
participation.
A municipal public body that for reasons of economic hardship and despite best efforts is
unable to provide alternative means of public access that will enable the public to follow the
proceedings of the municipal public body as those activities are occurring in real time may
instead post on its municipal website a full and complete transcript, recording, or other
comprehensive record of the proceedings as soon as practicable upon conclusion of the
proceedings. This paragraph shall not apply to proceedings that are conducted pursuant to a
general or special law or regulation, or a local ordinance or by-law, that requires allowance for
active participation by members of the public.
A public body must offer its selected alternative means of access to its proceedings
without subscription, toll, or similar charge to the public.
(2) Public bodies are hereby authorized to allow remote participation by all members in
any meeting of the public body. The requirement that a quorum of the body and the chair be
physically present at a specified meeting location, as provided in G. L. c. 30A, § 20(d) and in
940 CMR 29.10(4)(b), is hereby suspended.
(3) A public body that elects to conduct its proceedings under the relief provided in
sections (1) or (2) above shall ensure that any party entitled or required to appear before it shall
be able to do so through remote means, as if the party were a member of the public body and
participating remotely as provided in section (2).
(4) All other provisions of sections 18 to 25 of chapter 30A and the Attorney Generals
implementing regulations shall otherwise remain unchanged and fully applicable to the activities
of public bodies.
This Order is effective immediately and shall remain in effect until rescinded or until the
State of Emergency is terminated, whichever happens first.
Given in Boston at! ; !;M this 12th day of
March, two thousand and twenty.
