Do you have an idea to create, improve, or eliminate a law affecting special districts throughout the state?
If your district is facing an issue that could potentially be resolved through statewide legislation, let us know!
CSDA members are invited to submit a proposal by September 12 for CSDA to consider sponsoring legislation in the 2024 legislative year. Share your legislative proposal by completing and submitting the 2024 Legislative Proposal Submission Form.
Legislative proposals should broadly focus on furthering the interest of all types of special districts, regardless of geographic region or type(s) of service provided. 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.
In 2023, CSDA sponsored Senate Concurrent Resolution 52. SCR 52 (Alvarado-Gil) proclaimed the week of May 14, 2023, to May 20, 2023, to be Special Districts Week. CSDA also sponsored Assembly Bill 557. AB 557 (Hart) seeks to eliminate the sunset placed on emergency remote meeting procedures established by Assembly Bill 361 (R. Rivas, 2021), a bill that CSDA also sponsored for the benefit of its members during state emergencies.
Once again, the deadline for CSDA members to submit a 2024 Legislative Proposal Submission Form is September 12, 2023. For any questions, please contact CSDA Legislative Analyst Ophelia Szigeti at ophelias@csda.net.
Are you a special district that is 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.
