AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to provide that the Attorney General shall have certain duties regarding open meetings. Specifically, the bill allows a person affected by an alleged violation of the open meetings law to petition the Attorney General for review if the local prosecuting attorney takes no action. If the Attorney General determines there is probable cause of a violation, the Attorney General can refer the matter back to the prosecuting attorney for enforcement. If the prosecuting attorney still takes no action, the Attorney General may pursue appropriate non-judicial remedies. The bill also adds a provision allowing the Attorney General to hear petitions relating to the open meetings law.
