CSDA is now accepting legislative proposal submissions for the 2027 legislative year. Districts are encouraged to submit ideas to create new laws or improve existing laws that affect special districts statewide, regardless of geographic location or the services they provide.
Submissions will be reviewed by CSDA staff and assessed for political implications, potential consequences, cost of implementation, likelihood of success, and other relevant factors. Proposals will then be presented to the CSDA Legislative Committee for consideration.
CSDA members are invited to submit a proposal by September 2. Share your legislative proposal by completing and submitting the 2027 Legislative Proposal Submission Form.
This year, CSDA sponsored ACR 161 (Addis) proclaiming the week of April 5, 2026, to April 11, 2026, to be Special Districts Week. CSDA also co-sponsored SB 992 (Niello) County auditors: special districts: annual audit exceptions and SB 1005 (Caballero) Local agency: payment: rounding amount.
Once again, the deadline for CSDA members to submit a 2027 Legislative Proposal Submission Form is September 2, 2026. For any questions, please contact CSDA Legislative Analyst Ophelia Szigeti at ophelias@csda.net.
Is your special district sponsoring its own legislative proposal in the coming session? We want to hear from you too! Contact CSDA Legislative Analyst Ophelia Szigeti at ophelias@csda.net to let CSDA know about your pending legislative proposal and allow the CSDA legislative team to get a head start in potentially partnering with your district.
