Summary: Current law authorizes the members of the legislative body conducting the meeting to order the meeting room cleared and continue in session, as prescribed, if a group or groups have willfully interrupted the orderly conduct of a meeting and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully interrupting the meeting. This bill would authorize the presiding member of the legislative body conducting a meeting to remove an individual for willfully interrupting the meeting.
The bill, except as provided, would require removal to be preceded by a warning by the presiding member of the legislative body that the individual is disrupting the proceedings, a request that the individual curtail their disruptive behavior or be subject to removal, and a reasonable opportunity to cease the disruptive behavior. The bill would similarly require a warning, a request that the individual curtail their disruptive behavior or be subject to removal, and a reasonable opportunity to cease the disruptive behavior before clearing a meeting room for willful interruptions by a group or groups. The bill would define “willfully interrupting” to mean intentionally engaging in behavior during a meeting of a legislative body that substantially impairs or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting in accordance with law and applicable rules, as specified.
