This bill proposes to create a new section in chapter 49-02 of the North Dakota Century Code that outlines specific requirements for open meetings held by the Public Service Commission. It stipulates that, except as otherwise provided by law, these meetings will adhere to the requirements of chapter 44-04. However, it clarifies that a meeting does not include instances where a quorum of members is attending a legislative committee. Additionally, the bill exempts the Public Service Commission from the requirement to post notice at the meeting location if the meeting was not scheduled or organized by the commission.

Furthermore, the bill declares itself an emergency measure, indicating the urgency of its implementation. The proposed changes aim to streamline the process for public service commission meetings while ensuring compliance with existing open meeting laws.
