CA SB1100

Authorizes the presiding member of a legislative body or their designee to remove individuals for disrupting public meetings under the Ralph M. Brown Act.

Requires a warning before removal stating that the individual's disruptive behavior may result in their removal, except in cases involving use of force or true threats of force.

Defines "disrupting" as behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of a meeting, including failure to comply with reasonable meeting regulations or use of force or threats.

Makes legislative findings that this limitation on public access is necessary to preserve order, protect other attendees' rights, and allow legislative bodies to conduct business.

Approved by Governor on August 22, 2022, and filed with the Secretary of State the same day.
