Change quorum rules for city commissions to reflect actual appointed members
In Plain English
City commissions currently need a majority of all authorized seats to conduct business, even when some seats are vacant. The new law calculates quorum based only on filled positions. If approved, commissions can meet and vote more easily when they have empty seats.
