The Legislative Committee provides advice and recommendations to the full C/CAG Board on all matters dealing with State legislation, ballot measures, and positions to take on specific bills. During the active legislative year (January through August) the Committee monitors bills of potential interest to C/CAG member agencies and selects those to be tracked. The Committee then recommends positions on bills for consideration by the full C/CAG Board and acts as the liaison with C/CAG’s legislative lobbyist, and makes recommendations to the C/CAG Board for bills to be referred to the lobbyist for action. On issues of highest priority, the committee may direct staff to seek one or more legislative delegates to sponsor a bill that provides countywide benefit and aligns with C/CAG’s adopted legislative policies.
The Legislative Committee also works with staff and C/CAG’s Federal Legislative Advocate to track federal policies and funding opportunities for C/CAG projects.
