If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes regarding public meetings and proceedings, specifically by adding exemptions for three-member advisory committees or subcommittees. The bill would insert language that allows for the exchange of communications among a quorum of such committees or subcommittees without being subject to open meeting laws, provided that the discussions pertain to matters before the committee. Additionally, it would stipulate that these committees cannot include more than one member who is part of any public body.
The bill also proposes a technical change to the existing statute concerning the prohibition of attendance at hearings that pose a threat to safety. It modifies the timing of when written findings must be made public, changing the language from "of" to "after" the finding is made. Overall, these updates aim to clarify the rules governing advisory committees while ensuring public safety in specific circumstances.
