BILL NUMBER: AB 1880	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Irwin

                        FEBRUARY 10, 2016

   An act to amend Section 35147 of the Education Code, relating to
local educational agencies.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1880, as introduced, Irwin. Local educational agencies: parent
advisory committees: meetings.
   Under existing law, the meetings of school district governing
boards are subject to the provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act, which
generally requires that the meetings of the governing boards of
local agencies be open to the public with proper notice given, permit
the recording of those meetings, prohibit legislative bodies from
taking action by secret ballot and set forth other specific
requirements for the conduct of those meetings. Existing law exempts
the meetings of specified schoolsite councils and committees from the
Ralph M. Brown Act and the Bagley-Keen Open Meeting Act, but still
requires properly noticed public meetings with posted agendas.
   This bill would delete obsolete statutory references from this
provision and would correct references to certain parent advisory
committees that fall within this exemption. The bill would also make
nonsubstantive changes.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
