§ 72028 Ex Officio Commission Membership

• •An 'ex officio member' is part of the group but can't vote.
• •They are there to help or give advice, not to make decisions.
• •This rule was added in 1982.

Imagine a school club where the teacher is part of the club but doesn't vote on decisions.

The teacher is like an 'ex officio member'—they can guide the club but can't vote on what the club does.
