Description

Oregon's 53-year-old public meetings law requires elected officials to deliberate in public. After the Newberg School Board was accused of violating public meetings law, the Oregon Government Ethics Commission was granted the power to enforce public meeting requirements.

A bill intended to clarify what public officials can and cannot talk about outside of public meetings could lead to secret discussions of public business by some or all members of city councils or other local governments, the head of Oregon’s ethics commission told lawmakers Tuesday.
