California AB 259: Local agencies can use teleconferencing for meetings.

California AB 259 amends the Government Code to allow local agencies to use teleconferencing for meetings. Local agencies must post agendas at least 72 hours before regular meetings, specifying the time and location. Teleconferences must comply with all applicable laws and provide public participation options. The bill also extends the authorization for members to participate remotely indefinitely, allowing for greater accessibility and public participation in meetings. The bill defines "teleconference" and "state of emergency" and sets rules for remote participation and public comment.
