Summary

Reiterates that Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), in the development of a Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS), are allowed to conduct meetings with the public through electronic means if a call-in telephonic option is also provided and the informational meeting is not required to be conducted pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act (Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 54950) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5).  This bill removes the requirement for MPOs to present an urban simulation model of an SCS at a public workshop.  The provisions of the bill sunset on January 1, 2023, at which point statute reverts to current law with minor nonsubstantive changes.
