What’s in it
AI summary Right now, county auditors must publish recordings of board of supervisors meetings as soon as they end. This change would require the board to approve the records before the meeting is officially over. Once approved, the records would then be ready to be published.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, the county auditor is required to furnish recordings of proceedings of the board of supervisors to be published. All proceedings shall be published immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. This bill requires the proceedings to be approved by the board before the publication. The approval must occur prior to the adjournment of the meeting. The approval of the proceedings and the adjournment of the meeting shall be added to the proceedings after approval.
