If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes regarding public meetings and proceedings, specifically by exempting certain communications from open meeting law. The bill would allow for the exchange of communications among a quorum of a three-member advisory committee or subcommittee concerning matters before them, thereby facilitating discussions without the requirement for public access. Additionally, it would stipulate that such a three-member advisory committee or subcommittee cannot include more than one member who is part of any public body.

The bill also makes a technical change to the existing law regarding the prohibition of attendance at hearings that pose a serious threat to safety. It modifies the timeline for public notification of such prohibitions, changing the wording to clarify that written findings must be made public within five days after the decision is made. Overall, these updates aim to streamline the operations of advisory committees while maintaining certain safety protocols in public meetings.
