Ward 4 D.C. City Councilmember Muriel Bowser will announce Monday at 10a.m. her plan to introduce a bill to overhall the city's antiquated, ineffective open meetings statute.

Bowser's bill will require all boards, commissions and task forces, as well as the City Council, to meet in public to conduct most business. The bill would require public bodies to deliberate in public, except when they are engaged in quasi-judicial functions.

She will introduce the bill when the Council meets March 16.
