Summary:

The state and federal legislative program will set the priorities for advocacy during the 2017 State Legislative session and the 115th United States Congress.

 

Background Information:

The Board’s legislative program captures carryover items from the 2016 adopted program, new items as directed by the Board in its work session on October 4, 2016, and a list of emerging items that have surfaced since that time. The proposed program is brought before the Board for consideration, amendment and adoption. It is understood that it is not an exhaustive list and other issues may evolve during the year requiring the Board to amend the program.

County staff and our state and federal government relations firms will closely monitor the program and provide updates as the legislative process progresses.
