SUSPENSION OF CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS OF THE BROWN ACT AND BAGLEY-KEENE ACT
Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order No. N-25-20 on March 12, 2020, and Executive Order No. N-29-20 on March 17, 2020, announcing the suspension of certain meeting requirements of the Brown Act and Bagley-Keene Act in response to the increasing threat posed by the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). These orders:
- authorize state and local bodies to hold public meetings by teleconference and to make public meetings accessible telephonically or otherwise electronically to all members of the public seeking to attend and to address the local or state agencies (N-25-20);
- waive the requirements expressly or impliedly requiring the physical presence of members, the clerk or other personnel of the body, or of the public as a condition of participation in or quorum for a public meeting (N-25-20); and
- state that “such a body need not make available any physical location from which members of the public may observe the meeting and offer public comment.” (N-29-20)
