Per the rules and RONR, yes, an assembly may go into executive session at any time for any reason it desires. However, your bylaws may contain restrictions. Also, if you are incorporated or governed by state laws, such as many homeowner associations are, those laws frequently contain restrictions on the use of executive sessions.

Chris Harrison Posted August 16, 2019 at 07:26 PM Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 at 07:26 PM RONR doesn't impose any limits on what sort of business that can be conducted in Executive Session. However, your rules or applicable laws might so you should do your research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we say here (again...as has been said many times before) that if a state law has restrictions on something like Executive Session, (like when/why it’s permissible for a board to adjourn to it) that RONR cannot override/supersede state laws?

Yes, that is correct. We just said it again. But,we point it out frequently because our guests are frequently new to the forum and do not know that.
