On Friday, September 23, 2022, the Commission on State Mandates (Commission) will conduct its next regular meeting and hearing at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom

Statutes 2022, chapter 48 (Sec. 20 and 80), signed by Governor Newsom on June 30, 2022, amended the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act to extend until July 1, 2023, the authority to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and to make public meetings accessible electronically to all members of the public seeking to observe and to address the state body in order to protect the health and safety of civil servants and the public. The statute further suspends and no longer requires until July 1, 2023, the physical presence of members or other personnel of the state body or the public as a condition of participation in or quorum for a public meeting; the identification of each teleconference location from which a member will be participating; the posting of the notice and agenda at each teleconference location.

The Commission is committed to ensuring that its public meetings are accessible to the public and that the public has the opportunity to observe the meeting and to participate by providing written and verbal comment on Commission matters. If you want to speak during the hearing, you must use the "Raise Hand" feature in order for our moderators to know you need to be unmuted. If you are participating by phone, you may dial *9 to use the “Raise Hand” feature.
