SB 470: Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act: teleconferencing.
This bill amends the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act to extend the provisions related to teleconferencing meetings until January 1, 2030. The provisions allow state bodies to hold meetings by teleconference, subject to certain requirements, such as posting agendas at all locations, making each location accessible to the public, and having at least one member physically present. The bill also extends the provisions for multimember state advisory bodies, requiring a quorum of members to be present at the primary physical meeting location and making all decisions taken during the teleconference by rollcall. The bill also requires legislative findings to demonstrate the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.
