What's happening

This resolution requires that audio and video broadcasts of Assembly committee meetings be available online by April 1, 2019.

Why it matters

  1. Mandates a clear deadline for online access. By setting a specific date (April 1, 2019), the resolution removes previous ambiguity (“when practicable”) and guarantees timely public access to committee meeting broadcasts.

  2. Increases government transparency. Requiring that committee meetings be broadcast and archived online gives the public a direct window into legislative discussions and decision-making processes, making the Assembly more accountable.

  3. Aligns standards with Assembly sessions. By specifying that committee meeting broadcasts must meet the same requirements as televised Assembly sessions, the resolution ensures consistency in the quality and availability of legislative information.
