Modernize the Brown Act and Promote Safe, Welcoming Public Meetings

The Brown Act ensures that public decisions are deliberated on and made in public at noticed meetings in which the public can participate, but some of its out-of-date provisions make it difficult for members of boards, commissions, and advisory bodies to participate, especially those with young children, medical issues, or disabilities. CSAC will continue to lead in developing proposals to modernize the Brown Act and foster public meetings that are safe and welcoming for all community members.
