     3  defined in section 100 of the general municipal law, shall be authorized
     4  to the extent necessary to permit any public body as defined in  section
     5  102  of  the public officers law to meet and take such action authorized
     6  by law without permitting in public in-person  access  to  meetings  and
     7  authorize  such meetings to be held remotely by conference call or simi-
