What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This resolution amends the assembly rules to provide that public notice of every
assembly 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, may notice be provided less than two hours in
advance of a meeting.
The public notice for assembly committee meetings 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 assembly 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.
