Aging Californians: Relaxing the State s Public Meeting Law Is a Good Thing

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order that temporarily suspended some of the requirements of the California’s public meeting law, the Bagley Keene Act.

Aging Californians: Relaxing the State s Public Meeting Law Is a Good Thing

By Manny Otiko | California Black Media - A bill in California is being considered that would extend some of the changes to the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act until Jan. 1, 2026, which allows remote meetings via teleconference without posting each official’s teleconference location; however, opponents believe it would lead to more government secrecy and turn state government boards and commissions into "faceless bureaucracies."
