The Brown Act is California's "sunshine law" and requires local government agencies to conduct the people's business in an open and public manner. Those seeking to understand the workings of a city, county or other local government agency in California -- and those interested in providing input – will learn what rights they have under the Brown Act to receive notice, obtain copies of materials and address the agency.
Class covers:
- Which government agencies must comply
- What notice must be provided before conducting a meeting or taking action
- When agendas must be posted and what they should contain
- When and how the public is allowed to attend, speak or record
- When an agency can go into closed session
- How the Brown Act is enforced
