Allowing municipalities to hold remote meetings at any time is one of the measures Illinois lawmakers will be taking up during the fall veto session. Currently, the governor or the state health department must issue an emergency proclamation before a city can conduct any business remotely.
That is Illinois Municipal League Executive Director Brad Cole, who says the remote meetings allow more people to become involved with local government.
Lawmakers will also take up parking excise taxes and video gambling terminal fees when they return to Springfield this week.
