AB 172

Current law requires the Elections Commission to permit inspection of records

that are distributed or discussed during a meeting or hearing by the commission in

open session. This bill requires the commission also to post on its Internet site the

minutes of each of its meetings and hearings no later than 24 hours after the

completion of the meeting or hearing. The posted minutes must include a summary

of every action that the commission voted on, a record of each member's vote for or

against every action requiring a vote, a record of all motions and seconds made by

each member, and a record of each member's status as being present or absent for

any part of a meeting or hearing. Finally, the bill requires the commission to

maintain the minutes on its Internet site so that the minutes are accessible to the

public at all times.
