MEMORANDUM

Posted: March 27, 2015 03:42 PM
From: Representative Dan L. Miller
To: All House members
Subject: Public Meeting and Executive Session Agendas
 
In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation requiring any state or local agency to circulate an agenda prior to the commencement of a public meeting or an executive session.

In order to provide greater transparency and accountability, my legislation requires the following:
  • An agenda be printed and available to the public prior to an open meeting;

  • Minutes of the previous open meeting be available upon their approval, but no later than the next open meeting;

  • An executive session general topic agenda be posted and available prior to its commencement;

  • The executive session general topic agenda must reference the specific reason provided in 65 Pa.C.S. §708 (a) that permits each item to be discussed in executive session; and

  • Any new executive session topics that are added during the executive session meeting, must be listed along with their specific reason under 65 Pa.C.S. §708 (a) in the open meeting minutes.

Please join me in supporting this important legislation.
