Question
Does the Brown Act allow for you to sit in on a Little League meeting in which your conduct is in question by where the Little League officials have the right to suspend a coach without hearing his side of the story?
Answer
The Brown Act only applies to local governmental agencies. According to Little League Online, Little League Baseball, Inc., is a private non-profit organization, not a governmental organization, and therefore the Brown Act does not apply to it.
However, you may want to ask the Little League organization for copies of any by-laws or other rules it may have that govern such things as public notice, hearings and suspension procedures.
