Description

Rep. Nathan Sosa, D-District 30, requested House Bill 4177 to tighten public meetings law and the terms that define it.

Oregon legislators are considering making changes to a law that bars city councils and other government bodies from secretly hashing out decisions via private text messages, chats or other means, after elected officials complained the law was too confusing and a city lobbying group bashed state trainings on the rules.
