      25 min

      The Subcommittee will discuss possible updates to Committee bylaws. Some may need review in light of changes in the environment. For example, HSA has been replaced by HSH. Also, insofar as it appears staff will (probably effective July 1, 2023) be provided by HSH rather than DPH, bylaws intended to prevent conflicts of interest may need to be revised or drafted.  

      Public Comment will be heard before any proposed action.

      Discuss whether public comment time limits or format for (both the subcommittee and full committee) meetings could be altered in any way to better serve stakeholders.
