This bill amends N.J.S.18A:4-7 to stipulate that members of the State Board of Education can only be recorded as present at meetings if they attend in person, unless a state of emergency declared by the Governor allows for exceptions. Additionally, it mandates that all public meetings of the State Board of Education must be accessible both in person and virtually, with a publicly available link for virtual access posted on the Board's website.

Furthermore, the bill ensures that during meetings where public comment is accepted, members of the public are permitted to provide their comments through remote communication. This aims to enhance public participation and accessibility in the State Board of Education's proceedings. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
