legislative bodies by January 1, 2007. This new law defines a local legislative body as a "Brown Act"

action of the City Council. In other words, any person serving on a City Council, Board, Commission, or
Committee created by the Council is subject to this ethics training requirement. After this initial class,
training will be required every two years.
Ethics training can be accomplished by taking a 2 -hour class, self -study. Online training is available at on
