If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes regarding public meetings and proceedings by introducing specific exemptions for three-member advisory committees or subcommittees. The bill would exempt the exchange of communications among a quorum of a three-member advisory committee or subcommittee that involves a discussion or deliberation concerning a matter before the advisory committee or subcommittee. Additionally, it would prohibit a three-member advisory committee or subcommittee from including more than one member who is a member of any public body. The bill also includes a technical amendment to the existing law, specifically changing the timing of public findings related to attendance at hearings. It would modify the current language by replacing "of" with "after" in the context of prohibiting attendance at hearings that pose a serious threat to safety. Overall, these changes aim to clarify the rules governing advisory committees and enhance the operational flexibility of such bodies while maintaining public safety standards.
