What are the exceptions to the definition of a meeting?
There are five exceptions to the definition of a meeting under the Open Meeting Law.
1. Members of a public body may conduct an on-site inspection of a project or program;
however, they may not deliberate at such gatherings;
2. Members of a public body may attend a conference, training program or event;
however, they may not deliberate at such gatherings;
3. Members of a public body may attend a meeting of another public body provided that
they communicate only by open participation; however, they may not deliberate at such
gatherings;
4. Meetings of quasi-judicial boards or commissions held solely to make decisions in an
adjudicatory proceeding are not subject to the Open Meeting Law; and
5. Town Meetings, which are subject to other legal requirements, are not governed by the
Open Meeting Law. See, e.g. G.L. c. 39, §§ 9, 10 (establishing procedures for Town
Meeting).
The Attorney General interprets the exemption for "quasi-judicial boards or
commissions" to apply only to certain state "quasi-judicial" bodies and a very limited number of
public bodies at other levels of government whose proceedings are specifically defined as
"agencies" for purposes of G.L. c. 30A.
We have received several inquiries about the exception for Town Meeting and whether
it applies to meetings outside of a Town Meeting session by Town Meeting members or Town
Meeting committees or to deliberation by members of a public body —such as a board of
selectmen — during a session of Town Meeting. The Attorney General interprets this exemption
to mean that the Open Meeting Law does not reach any aspect of Town Meeting. Therefore,
