A BILL to amend article nine-a, chapter six of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated section eight, relating to allowing participation in public meetings by video-teleconference.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That article nine-a, chapter six of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, be amended by adding thereto a new section, designated section eight, to read as follows:
ARTICLE 9A. OPEN GOVERNMENTAL PROCEEDINGS.

§6-9A-8. Participation in meetings by video-teleconference.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a public body may, by rule, provide a procedure to allow a member to participate, including voting, in its meetings though video- teleconference. The rules may allow the participation by video- teleconference
only when the member is unable to attend due to a temporary medical condition of the member that prevents the member from physically attending.


NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to allow members of public bodies to participate in a body's meeting by video-teleconference when a medical condition prevents the member from attending.

This section is new; therefore, strike-throughs and underscoring have been omitted.
