Finance Rd 1 05-MAR-15 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, the Open Meetings Act of 2005 specifically
applies to quorums of committees and subcommittees of governmental bodies. In 2012, the Alabama
Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled that the Open Meetings Act did not apply to a series
of committee or subcommittee gatherings at which discussions were conducted on matters that
would later come before the full governmental body. In 2013, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled,
in a 5-3 decision, that citizens do not have standing to bring suits under the Open Meetings
Act if the civil penalty is paid to the state and there is no allegation of a likelihood of
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,...
