Legislature: closed sessions: caucus.

Abstract

Existing provisions of the California Constitution require meetings of each house and committee of the Legislature to be open to the public, except that closed meetings may be held to consider specified matters and a caucus of the Members of the Senate, the Members of the Assembly, or the Members of both houses, which is composed of the members of the same political party, may meet in closed session. This bill would limit the caucus exemption described above by prohibiting a closed session of a quorum of the Members of the Assembly or Senate, or both, if specific legislation is considered at that session and a vote or vote count of those members takes place at that session.
