Yes, but they have to provide "live 'adequate, alternative
means' of public access to the deliberations of the public
body." Here is guidance from MMA for the current remote
meeting provision: <a href="https://www.mma.org/remote-meeting-extension-for-local-boards-signed-into-law/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mma.org/remote-meeting-extension-for-local-boards-signed-into-law/</a>

For example, our PB voted to move complete remote each time
this Act was extended. BUT you should be aware that the most
recent extension is expiring at the end of March. I have not
heard about any coming extension, so we are preparing to
return fully to in-person. <br>
