Open Meetings
Go to Open Meetings

The Open Meetings Act (OMA) took effect January 1, 1977. In enacting the OMA,
the Legislature promoted a new era in governmental accountability and fostered
openness in government to enhance responsible decision making.1 Nothing in the
OMA prohibits a public body from adopting an ordinance, resolution, rule, or
charter provision that requires a greater degree of openness relative to public
body meetings than the standards provided for in the OMA. 2
