On January 5, 2022, Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-1-22 to temporarily extend the flexibilities for state bodies to conduct teleconferences, temporarily suspending the sunset dates of Statutes 2021, Chapter 165 (AB 361) in Government Code section 11133(g) from January 31, 2022 to March 31, 2022. Accordingly, requiring the physical presence of board members at meetings and providing a physical space for members of the public to observe and participate have been suspended until further notice, so long as the agency makes it possible for members of the public to observe and address the meeting remotely, for example, via web or audio conferencing such as Zoom. (Gov. Code, § 11133, as added by Stats. 2021, ch. 165; Executive Order N-1-22.)
