Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of any general or special law, all meetings of the Port Authority are declared to be public meetings and shall be open to the public and members of the news media, individually and collectively, for the purpose of observing the full details of all phases of the deliberation, policy-making and decision-making of the board.

b. The board shall adopt within six months of the effective date of this act, appropriate rules and regulations concerning proper notice to the public and the news media of its meetings and the right of the public and the news media to be present at its meetings.

To the extent these laws conflict, the Port Authority shall incorporate into the rules and regulations the provisions of that law which provides for the greatest rights to the public and the news media.
