What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current rules, the chairperson of an assembly committee determines when committee meetings are held. This resolution amends the rules to provide that public notice of every committee meeting must be given at least 24 hours before the commencement of the meeting, unless the chairperson and ranking minority member of the committee determine that for good cause such notice is impossible or impractical. In no case, however, under the amended rules, may notice be provided less than two hours in advance of a meeting. The public notice must be in such form as is reasonably likely to apprise members of the public and the news media of the meeting and must indicate the day, hour, and place of the meeting and the number, author, and relating clause of each proposal to be considered. The resolution requires that every committee meeting must be publicly held in a place reasonably accessible to members of the public and must be open to all citizens at all times. Finally, the resolution applies this new committee notice provision to committee meetings held during special, extended, or extraordinary sessions of the legislature.
