applies to quorums of committees and subcommittees of governmental bodies. In 2012, the Alabama

future violations. Also in 2013, the Alabama Supreme Court stated that there is no requirement
that the Alabama Legislature hold open meetings. This bill would define and prohibit serial
meetings. This bill would further define deliberation,...
