HB 2364
allows a member of a public body, during a public meeting, to present a brief
summary of current events without listing in the agenda the specific matters to
be summarized.
History
Arizona’s Open Meeting Law (OML) requires that meetings of public bodies be conducted openly and that notices and agendas be provided for such meeting that contain such information as is reasonably necessary to inform the public of the matters to be discussed or decided. The Legislature adopted the OML in 1962 to ensure that the public’s business is conducted openly, and that the public is able to attend and listen to the deliberations and proceedings of public bodies.
The OML requires a public body to give notice of all public meetings to members of the public and to members of the public body. The notice must include an agenda that lists the specific matters to be discussed, considered or decided at the meeting. Current statute allows the chief administrator or presiding officer of a public body to present a brief summary of current events without listing in the agenda the specific matters to be summarized. This is allowed only if the overall subject is listed on the agenda and the public body does not propose, discuss, deliberate or take legal action at the meeting on any matter in the summary.
