To keep up with elected boards and commissions, Sen. Bob Klitzkie has
introduced Bill 233 to make sure the newly created elected boards and
commissions and future elected boards and commissions are subject to public
access. Sen. Klitzkie notes that previous legislation will need to be
amended so elected board members and commissioners are subject to the
same open government laws covering boards and commissions confirmed by
the governor and the legislature.
“My amendment just adds the words ‘any of’ and ‘elected’
in the right places so that the definition reads: “public agency
includes any board, commission or comparable unit of government any of
whose members are elected, appointed by the governor, etc … So when
the law was … first enacted we didn’t have elected boards
or commissions. So it only went to appointed by the governor or appointed
by the legislature. Now that we do, we just need to add in that word elected,”
said Klitzkie.
