The bill amends Chapter 42-46 of the General Laws, titled "Open Meetings," by adding a new section, 42-46-15, which requires all public bodies to develop a translation assistance plan. This plan must outline the necessary steps to ensure that the proceedings of open meetings are accessible to individuals in a language they understand, upon request. Public bodies are mandated to implement this translation assistance plan by September 1, 2027. The act will take effect upon passage.
