Board said it discussed legal advice on proposed changes to legislative and rulemaking comment policy in executive session; no decisions made

The board met in executive session to receive legal advice on proposed revisions to its legislative and rulemaking comment policy, Executive Director Nevitt said. "The board met in executive session and discussed legal advice with respect to the proposed revisions to the legislative and rulemaking comment policy," Nevitt said, and added, "No decisions were made."

The matter was discussed during a closed executive session that the board announced would run from 3:38 p.m. to 4:10 p.m. The transcript does not record any formal motion, vote or public action on the proposed policy revisions.

The discussion took place behind closed doors for the stated purpose of receiving legal advice; the board did not specify a timeline for public consideration or a vote on any proposed revisions. The transcript does not identify other details about the substance of the proposed changes, which rules or sections would be altered, or whether outside stakeholders had submitted comments.

An unidentified board member asked Executive Director Nevitt to make the announcement after the meeting returned from executive session. The record available to reporters shows only that legal advice was sought and that "No decisions were made."
