A state board or commission may meet through telephone or other electronic means in accordance with ORS 192.610 to 192.705.

Notwithstanding ORS 171.072 or 292.495, a member of a state board or commission who attends a meeting through telephone or other electronic means is not entitled to compensation or reimbursement for expenses for attending the meeting.

A state board or commission may compensate or reimburse a member, other than a member who is a member of the Legislative Assembly, who attends a meeting through telephone or other electronic means as provided in ORS 292.495 at the discretion of the board or commission.

A state board or commission that meets through telephone or other electronic means in accordance with ORS 192.610 to 192.705 shall record and promptly publish the meeting on a publicly accessible website or hosting service, so that members of the public may without charge:

Observe a recording of the meeting if the meeting was conducted through videoconferencing technology; or

Listen to a recording of the meeting if the meeting was conducted through teleconferencing technology that did not include video capabilities.

The requirement that a meeting be published under this subsection does not apply to that portion of a state board or commission meeting that was lawfully held in executive session under ORS 192.660 or other law, or to hearings of the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision or the Psychiatric Security Review Board.

The requirement to record and publish meetings under this subsection applies to any state board or commission that is within the executive department, as defined in ORS 174.112, and whose members are subject to Senate confirmation under ORS 171.562 and 171.565.
