Harrisburg, Pa. â A bill to allow municipal officials to meet remotely even after the COVID-19 emergency ends was introduced on Friday in the state House of Representatives.
Title 35 was changed last April to allow municipalities to remotely meet during disaster emergencies but boroughs must resume in-person meetings once the current emergency ends.
The bill introduced by Rep. Perry S. Warren (D-Bucks) would amend Title 8, the Borough Code, so that remote participation always would be sufficient to constitute a quorum.
Local officials and the public could meet via devices that allow for audio communication at a minimum, such as phones or computer terminals.
