Bill > SB1706

This bill amends the Open Meetings Act to specifically exempt committees of the Police Officers' Pension Investment Fund from the requirement that a quorum (the minimum number of members needed to conduct official business) must be physically present at a meeting location. Currently, the law generally requires public bodies to have members physically present at meetings, with some exceptions for certain types of government entities with large jurisdictional areas. By adding language about the Police Officers' Pension Investment Fund committees, the bill allows these specific committees to hold meetings where members can participate remotely without needing to be physically in the same location, as long as they provide appropriate public notice and access. This change provides more flexibility for these pension-related committees to conduct their business, potentially making scheduling and participation easier for committee members.
