Maryland's Open Meetings Act is a statute that requires many State and local public bodies to hold their meetings in public, to give the public adequate notice of those meetings, and to allow the public to inspect meetings minutes. The Act permits public bodies to discuss some topics confidentially.

This provision establishes that, although the Maryland Sunshine Law is the touchstone by which public bodies are to conduct their meetings, the statute is not exclusive in its application. The statute only outlines the minimum requirements for conducting open meetings. . . .

A quorum is a majority of the public body's members unless the law applicable to that particular public body sets a different number.

When the Open Meetings Act applies, what does it require the public body to do? The Act requires the public body to give “reasonable advance notice” of its meetings, to make an agenda available in advance except in cases of emergency, to hold its meetings openly, to adopt minutes, and to retain them for 5 years.

How to file a Complaint. Send a complaint letter by mail or e-mail to the Open Meetings Compliance Board at this address: Open Meetings Compliance Board, c/o Attorney General's Office, 200 St. Paul Place, Baltimore, MD 21202, or OpenGov@oag.state.md. You must sign your complaint and include a return address.

Upon finding a violation of the Open Meeting Law, the Attorney General may impose a civil penalty upon a public body of not more than $1,000 for each intentional violation.

Start a meeting properly Opening board meeting script usually means addressing issues of personal or perfunctory nature, such as thanking retiring members and welcoming visitors and other members. “We want to thank members' names for being present at/making a contribution to this organization's name board meeting.”

Introduce yourself and other speakers at the start of the meeting. If it is a small meeting, ask everyone to introduce themselves. Sometimes it works well to get people to say a bit more about themselves as part of the introductions. Tell people what the meeting is about.
