Ancel Glink’s Quorum Forum Podcast released Episode 99: New Laws for the New Year, which is summarized below:
Farewell, 2025—and a warm welcome to the New Year! In this
holiday episode, the Quorum Forum podcast hosts its annual tradition of
revisiting new legislation and case law that local government listeners should
know for 2026. Ancel Glink attorneys Erin Monforti, Katie Nagy and Alexis Carter captained teams
of Ancel Glink attorneys in a competition to leave the most messages about new
laws on the Quorum Forum hotline. Who will win? Our listeners, of course! The
episode provides critical updates on laws taking effect (or possibly taking
effect) in 2026, including Open Meetings Act amendments, Freedom of Information
Act amendments, a law restricting local parking requirements near transit, and
more!
Stay tuned for future Municipal Minute posts about a number of these new state laws that will be reported on over the next few weeks.
