Background
Assembly Member Dawn Addis will author the 2026 Assembly Concurrent Resolution on April 5-11, 2026. This is California’s 8th annual year celebrating Special Districts!
Special Districts Week coincides with the CSDA 2026 Special Districts Legislative Days conference in Sacramento. CSDA will pre-arrange Legislative Office Visits between Legislators, their staff and the special districts that provide essential services to their communities. This will establish connections between local governments and their state elected representatives.
CSDA has previously sponsored Assembly Concurrent Resolution 36 (Carrillo), Assembly Concurrent Resolution 163 (Hart), Senate Concurrent Resolution 52 (Alvarado-Gil, 2023), Assembly Concurrent Resolution 180 (Bauer-Kahan, 2022), Assembly Concurrent Resolution 17 (Voepel, 2021), Assembly Concurrent Resolution 179 (Voepel, 2020), and Assembly Concurrent Resolution 89 (Cooley, 2019) to encourage all Californians to be involved in their communities and be civically engaged with their government.
