    The state of emergency is scheduled to end on February 28, 2023. As such, legislative bodies subject to the Brown Act will no longer have the authority to hold fully remote meetings without meeting all of the access and notice requirements of the Brown Act. In practice, this means that, as of March 1, all such bodies will need to meet in person in most situations. While it is true that a member of such a body can still join virtually, that member's location must: (1) be open to the public during the entirety of the meeting, (2) the address of that location must be posted in the agenda, and (3) the agenda must be posted at that location 72 hours in advance for regular meetings and 24 hours in advance for special meetings. Any charter board meeting that is found to be non-compliant with the Brown Act beginning on March 1 may receive a Notice of Concern.
