Requirement of the Statutory Nature of Limiting the Principle of Openness of Action of the Bodies Constituting Local Government Units

The article aims to draw attention to the practical problem of introducing into the statutes of communes provisions limiting the transparency of the activities of decision-making bodies, without the authorization resulting from the act. The provision of art. 15zzx sec. 1 of the Anti-Covid Act entitles collective bodies of local government units to hold meetings and sessions remotely only during the state of epidemic emergency or the state of epidemic related to counteracting COVID-19 disease and constitutes an independent legal basis in this regard. Therefore, this provision cannot be introduced into the statutes of local government units by extending the possibility of organizing a remote session in the event of other epidemic states or a threat to the life or health of councilors in the future.
