Assembly Member Todd Gloria’s office has notified CSDA that Assembly Bill 2093, related to email retention, will not be moving forward in 2020. AB 2093 would have required all public agencies to maintain for two years all emails sent and received related to the public’s business. This costly mandate would not have resulted in the increased transparency Assembly Member Gloria was seeking to create.
CSDA appreciates and congratulates all the special districts that wrote letters expressing opposition to AB 2093—your voices were heard. Assembly Member Gloria acknowledges the struggles that all Californians are facing, including public agencies, and did not feel that this is the appropriate time to pursue this legislation. While the issue of government transparency remains an issue of concern to Assembly Member Gloria, CSDA is grateful that he has chosen not to move forward with AB 2093 in 2020 so he can focus on relief efforts to COVID-19.
Please join CSDA in thanking Assembly Member Gloria for his thoughtfulness and his efforts on helping all Californians in managing the impacts of COVID-19 on special districts and the communities we serve.
