Under current law, a governmental body is generally required to meet in open session. Open session is a meeting that is held in a place reasonably accessible to members of the public and open to all citizens at all times.

2. The Ethics Commission.
3. The Elections Commission.
4. The Joint Committee on Information Policy and Technology.
5. The Joint Legislative Audit Committee.
The bill also prohibits public access to records regarding information technology security issues considered in closed session, as provided under the bill, except that the bill allows the custodians of such records to submit the records to the Joint Committee on Information Policy and Technology and the Joint Legislative Audit Committee for consideration in closed session. The bill also requires the committees to periodically prepare and publish a summaries of information technology security issues considered by the committees in closed session.
