Under Gann’s proposal, the Legislature and all committees, conference committees, task forces and working groups would be required to: provide advance public notice and agendas; allow public observation and recording of meetings; post meeting records online within seven days; and refrain from taking votes outside Open Meeting Act compliance. Also requires lawmakers to file a Lobbyist Impact Statement if they have received campaign contributions, gifts or other benefits from lobbyists connected to legislation they sponsor and mandates that legislators disclose any nondisclosure agreements they sign, and any agreement restricting communication with constituents or legislative deliberation would be void.
