Comments on SB 544

Kristianna Moralls wrote 3 weeks ago
Teleconferencing has offered additional access to people with disabilities and their caregivers to attend meetings. Teleconference meetings increase the ability for people with disabilities to get information, advocate, and share their valuable insight at meetings statewide. The intention of Bagley-Keene was never to limit access but to expand it. I strongly support SB 544.
