As a result of the COVID-19 emergency, certain provisions of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act were waived by executive orders issued by the Governor to protect public health by limiting public gatherings and requiring social distancing. Those waivers were extended through January 31, 2022, pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 (Stats. 2021. Ch. 165).
