Expanding Public Access: SB 707’s Updates to the Brown Act
Monday, August 3, 2026, 12:00 – 1:30 PM
About the Webinar
With the signing of SB 707 last October, California is modernizing how local agencies conduct public meetings. These changes address long-standing challenges, from limited remote access and accessibility gaps to barriers for multilingual and underrepresented communities. SB 707 requires two-way telephonic or audiovisual platforms, real-time translation assistance, and outreach for greater public participation. In this webinar, our expert panel of local government legal advisors will guide you through the new Brown Act landscape. You will gain a clear understanding of your agency’s obligations and leave with action steps to ensure your meetings are inclusive, accessible, and legally compliant in the post-pandemic era.
