Resolution No. 29-2021-2022 re AB 361 Authorizing Electronic Board Meetings 18May2022.pdf
Summary: In March 2020, the Governor issued an Executive Order suspending provisions of the Brown Act and allowing meetings of the governing board to be held telephonically or otherwise electronically. This authority had been extended to September 30, 2021. Recently, the Governor signed Assembly Bill No. 361 which amends the Brown Act to continue to allow telephonic or electronic meetings beyond September 30. In allowing electronic meetings, AB 361 also protects the rights of the public by requiring electronic means for members of the public to observe and provide comment in real time.
