Expect OPMA proclamation extension with further in-person restrictions

Contact: Candice Bock, Jacob Ewing

The current emergency proclamation modifying the Open Public Meets Act (OPMA) and the Public Records Act (PRA) is set to expire at midnight on Monday, December 7.

AWC expects that modifications to the OPMA and PRA will continue to be extended. However, with the current restrictions and increased COVID transmission rates, we anticipate that the in-person attendance option may be scaled back.

As with past extensions to this emergency proclamation, the extension will likely be issued late Monday, December 7, or early Tuesday, December 8. Until the new proclamation is issued, cities should continue to follow the guidelines set forth in emergency proclamation 20-28.13.
