10.22 | Meeting – Call – Notice – Place

(a) Meetings of a commission may be called by the chair or a majority of the members by written notice to the other members specifying the date, time, and place of the meeting. Such notice shall be sent out at least five days before the time specified, except that a meeting may be held on shorter notice if the notice specifies that the meeting will be an emergency meeting. The place of meeting specified in the notice may, in the case of any circuit judicial commission, be any place in the circuit, and, in the case of The Appellate Judicial Commission, any place in the state, if called by the chair, and otherwise in Jefferson City. Notice of the meeting may be waived by any member or members either before or after the meeting takes place, and attendance at a meeting by any member shall constitute a waiver of notice by such member unless he or she shall, at or promptly after the beginning of such meeting, object to the holding of the meeting on the ground of lack of or insufficiency of notice.

(b) Meetings of any commission may be held without notice to the members at any time or place whenever the meeting is one as to which notice is waived by all members or whenever the commission at a previous meeting shall have designated the time and place for such meeting.

(c) Notice of the date, time, and place of meetings shall be made public at least 24 hours before the meeting unless for good cause such notice is impossible or impractical, in which case as much notice as is reasonably possible shall be given.
