Circumvention by Delegation? An Analysis of North Carolina's Open Meetings Law and the Byrd Loophole
Abstract
In light of the Byrd precedent and the various amendments to the law over the past thirty years, this comment will address two concerns: first, whether the North Carolina Supreme Court's logic in deciding Byrd was sound, especially in view of the seemingly clear intent of North Carolina's Open Meetings Law; and second, given the present-day version of North Carolina's Open Meetings Law, whether state agencies and other governmental bodies may still operate through the purported Byrd loophole.
