To the greatest extent possible, state executive agency conferences must be
conducted by videoconference, audioconference, or other electronic means if the
conference otherwise would involve travel for which agency employees would be
reimbursed. The commissioner of administration may grant exemptions from this
requirement as necessary to allow people other than state employees to participate
effectively in conferences, or when otherwise essential to efficient and effective conduct
of state business. This section does not authorize an agency to avoid compliance with the
open meeting law in chapter 13D.
