The bill proposes an amendment to the Open Meetings Act in Alaska, specifically exempting municipal service area boards from its requirements. The amendment modifies AS 44.62.310(d) by adding a new exemption for meetings of municipal service area boards, which are established under AS 29.35.450 - 29.35.490. This change allows these boards to conduct meetings without adhering to the Open Meetings Act, thereby providing them with greater flexibility in their operations.
Additionally, the bill makes a minor change to the language regarding hospital meetings, replacing the phrase "upon matters" with "on matters" related to professional qualifications, privileges, or discipline. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage, as specified in Section 2.
