			 business by the commission.
(2) The
			 Commission shall file with the Secretary of State in Oregon and the Code
			 Reviser in Washington a schedule of the time and place of such meetings on or
			 before January of each year for publication in the states' registers. Notice of
			 any change from such meeting schedule shall be published in the states'
			 registers for distribution at least twenty days prior to the rescheduled
			 meeting date. For the purposes of this section "regular" meetings shall mean
			 recurring meetings held in accordance with a periodic schedule declared by
			 statute or rule.

			 shall provide for and give public notice, reasonably calculated to give actual
			 notice to interested persons, including news media which have requested notice,
			 of the time and place for holding regular meetings. The notice shall also
			 include a list of the principal subjects anticipated to be considered at the
			 meeting, but this requirement shall not limit the ability of the commission to
			 consider additional subjects.
(4)
			 If an executive session only will be held, the notice shall be given to the
			 members of the commission, the general public and to news media which have
			 requested notice, stating the specific provision of law authorizing the
			 executive session.
(5) No special
			 meeting shall be held without at least 24 hours' notice to the members of the
			 commission, the news media which have requested notice and the general public.
			 In case of an actual emergency, a meeting may be held upon such notice as is
			 appropriate to the circumstances, but the minutes for such a meeting shall
			 describe the emergency justifying less than 24 hours' notice. The call and
			 notice of the meeting shall specify the time and place of the meeting and the
			 business to be transacted. Notice of a special meeting may be given by
			 delivering written notice personally, by mail, by fax, or by electronic mail.
			 Final disposition shall not be taken on any other matter at a special meeting
			 of the Commission.
(6) The
			 commission shall not adopt any ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, order,
			 or directive, except in a meeting open to the public and then only at a
			 meeting, the date of which is fixed by law or rule, or at a meeting of which
			 notice has been given according to the provisions of this chapter. Any action
			 taken at meetings failing to comply with the provisions of this subsection
			 shall be null and void.
(7) The
			 commission may adjourn or continue a meeting to a time and place specified in
			 an order of adjournment or continuance. Written notice of the adjournment or
			 continuance shall be provided in accordance with subsection (3) above. A copy
			 of the order of adjournment or continuance shall be conspicuously posted
			 immediately after adjournment or continuance on the door where the meeting was
			 held.
