On September 5, 2024, the Board adopted amendments to its administrative rules at Part 2175 of Title 2 of the Illinois Administrative Code. The Board amended the rules to reflect, among other things, a recent change to the Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/7(a) (2022)). The Open Meetings Act was amended so that a member of a public body could attend a meeting of that body by video or audio conference when the member is unable to physically attend the meeting because of “unexpected childcare obligations.” The Board added corresponding language to its rule that specifies the circumstances under which a Board Member may telephonically attend an open meeting of the Board.
