Bill > AB684

This bill expands the definition of "Regents of the University of California" under the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act to include the Academic Senate of the University of California and the Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools. Currently, existing law requires all meetings of the University of California Regents to be open to the public under the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, which mandates transparency for governmental bodies. By adding the Academic Senate and the Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools to the definition of Regents, the bill ensures that meetings of these bodies will also be subject to the same open meeting requirements. This means that these bodies will need to provide public notice of their meetings, allow public attendance, and maintain minutes, thereby increasing transparency in the decision-making processes of these important University of California advisory and governance groups.
