SB 239: Crimes: criminal threats.
This bill aims to regulate the use of teleconferencing by local government subsidiary bodies. The bill requires these bodies to post agendas at each physical meeting location and to list a member participating remotely in the minutes. Members must visibly appear on camera during open meetings that are accessible online. The bill also requires the establishment of the subsidiary body by a formal action, approval by a 2/3 vote, and exemptions for certain subject matter jurisdictions. The bill makes legislative findings to ensure public access to meetings and writings of public officials and agencies, and it repeals the provisions on January 1, 2030.
