SCR 38: Recording legislative meetings.

The California Constitution, as amended by the California Legislature Transparency Act, guarantees to the public the right to record by audio or video means any and all parts of open and public legislative meetings and to broadcast or otherwise transmit them, subject to reasonable rules regulating the placement and use of equipment for recording or broadcasting for the sole purpose of minimizing disruption. The California Constitution requires that those rules be adopted by the Legislature by concurrent resolution passed by a rollcall vote entered in the journal, ²/₃ of the membership of each house concurring, or by statute.

This measure would adopt rules regulating the placement and use of equipment for recording or broadcasting legislative meetings that are open and public.
