What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, a public library established in a first class city is administered by a 12-member library board. One member must be a member of the county board of supervisors who resides in the county but outside the city. This bill eliminates the requirement that the member reside outside the city.

Currently, for the library board of a public library established in a first class city, seven members constitute a quorum. This bill provides, instead, that a majority of the seats on the board that are currently filled constitutes a quorum.
