Bill > SB190

This bill establishes new meeting requirements for two health-related advisory bodies: the State Health Assessment and State Health Improvement Plan Advisory Council and the Commission on the Interdisciplinary Primary Care Workforce. The bill modifies existing law to require that at least one-seventh of the total appointed members must be physically present at any meeting, while allowing other members to participate electronically. Electronic participants must be able to see, hear, and be seen and heard by other members and members of the public throughout the meeting. For meetings held remotely, each electronically participating member must identify who is present at their location, and all votes must be taken by roll call. The bill also permits members of the public to participate remotely in these meetings, including the ability to testify or ask questions according to the body's rules. Additionally, the bill changes the quorum requirement for each council from a specific number of members to a majority of appointed members. The legislative members of these bodies will continue to receive mileage reimbursement at the legislative rate when attending meetings, and the bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
