The Open Meetings Act requires that all meetings of public bodies be open to the public. Public bodies must understand what they are required to do when they conduct meetings and know when they are allowed to convene in executive session. Public bodies may be sued and required to pay damages or have other legal consequences if they fail to follow these requirements.
