2. Discussion of Amendments to Regulation 18944.1 The Committee will receive an update on amendments to Regulation 18944.1 that would clarify the requirements for written agency ticket distribution policies. It would also add a requirement that an agency’s ticket distribution policy prohibit the disproportionate use of tickets or passes by members of the agency’s governing board or chief administrative officer, and require when tickets are used for the oversight or inspection of facilities, amongst other proposed changes.

_{The Commission has established two separate two-person standing advisory committees, the Budget and Personnel Committee and the Law and Policy Committee, to allow greater participation by individual Commissioners in making recommendations to the full Commission. In recognition of the public’s interest in the meetings of these committees, the Commission has directed the committees to allow the public to monitor committee deliberations, whenever possible, by publishing a two-day notice of the meeting and allowing callers to listen to the proceeding with a call-in telephone number. (See Commission Regulation 18308.1(d)(2)(E).)}
