AI Summary

This bill amends the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act to specify that the definition of "state body" includes an advisory board, advisory commission, advisory committee, advisory subcommittee, or similar multimember advisory body of a state body that consists of 3 or more individuals, except a board, commission, committee, or similar multimember body on which a member of a body serves in their official capacity as a representative of that state body and that is supported, in whole or in part, by funds provided by the state body. The bill also declares that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute in order to avoid unnecessary litigation and ensure the public's right to access the meetings of public bodies.
