Senate Concurrent Resolution 52, introduced by State Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil, will establish Special Districts Week May 14 – 20 to coincide with Special Districts Legislative Days in Sacramento. Visit the Special Districts Week Toolkit for resources and sample materials. And, don’t forget to save money by registering for Legislative Days before the April 21 Early Bird Deadline.
Special Districts Week encourages Californians across the state to engage with their local communities and to be actively involved with their government, particularly with special districts and the areas they serve.
During Special Districts Week, special district representatives will come to Sacramento to make their voices heard throughout the state legislature on issues of importance to California’s special districts as part of Special Districts Legislative Days. Don’t miss out! Join together with hundreds of local leaders to meet legislators and policymakers in the State’s Capital to advocate for special districts and the communities they serve. Visit LegislativeDays.csda.net to learn more.
Districts don’t have to wait until Special Districts Legislative Days to take action. You can start engaging with the public now by following a few simple steps:
- Submit a letter of support using the sample letter provided by CSDA (be sure to copy CSDA on letters you submit to the Legislature) for SCR 52.
- Ensure your district has adopted a policy governing the process for adopting positions on legislation (CSDA has provided a sample policy to assist in this process)
