According to Mass. AG Maura Healey, the most common violations in 2021 included insufficiently specific meeting notices; failure to release meeting minutes; meetings not accessible to the public; and deliberations outside of a posted meeting.
A record number of open meeting law complaints were filed with the state during 2021, according to Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey’s office.
The remedial actions most frequently ordered by the state Division of Open Government were: immediate and future compliance with the open meeting law; creation or approval of open session minutes; release or revision of executive session minutes, and attendance at a training on the open meeting law. “The Division of Open Government is a key resource for public bodies and Massachusetts residents seeking information and guidance on the open meeting law,” Healey said in statement.
