The committee approved an amended bill that would require signage explaining certain local laws and giving "know-your-rights" information. For residents, this could mean more posted notices in public-facing places explaining your rights and relevant city rules. The minutes list the bill text and supporting documents; the specific posting requirements and who must display signs are in the proposed law and its amendments.
