Summary

This bill revises, and repeals on January 1, 2026, certain teleconference requirements under the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Bagley-Keene), which requires all meetings of a State body be open and public. The bill, among other things, authorizes a State body to hold an open meeting by teleconference, provided that a majority of the members of the State body are physically present at the same teleconference location. The bill allows additional members of the State body in excess of a majority of the members to attend and participate in the meeting from a remote location, which is not required to be accessible to the public and disclosed in the notice and agenda.
