CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 869 - This act provides that a public governmental body is authorized to close a meeting or record to the extent they relate to operational plans, guidelines, policies or procedures held by an agency responsible for public health or safety that are used in responding to or preventing certain critical incidents or events that appear to be terrorist, criminal or hostile in nature and which have the potential to endanger an individual's or the public's safety. This exception does not apply to information regarding expenditures, purchases or contracts made by the agency to implement such plans, guidelines, policies or procedures.
