Secretary of State's Office Releases Open Meeting Law Video
Vermont’s open meeting law requires all meetings of public bodies to be open to the public at all times, unless a specific exception applies. The purpose of the law is to promote transparency, accountability, and better decision-making in government. Beginning July 1, 2024, public bodies (including school boards) are required to comply with Act 133 (2024), which amends the Open Meeting Law.
This training video, issued by the Secretary of State's Office, covers the basics of what you need to know about Vermont's Open Meeting Law as well as recent updates to the law from Act 133 (2024). The Secretary of State's Office also worked with VSBA and the Vermont League of Cities and Towns to develop this joint guidance. For more information on open meetings, see this webpage.
