BILL · 2013–14 SESSION

SB 5260: County legislative meetings

Authorizing regular meetings of county legislative authorities to be held at alternate locations within the county.

Summary

  • County legislative authorities may occasionally conduct regular meetings outside the county seat but in the county if they determine that meeting at an alternate location would support greater citizen engagement in local government. This would enable county legislative authorities to transact business required or permitted by law at meetings outside of the county seat.
