Assembly Concurrent Resolution 163, introduced by Assembly Member Gregg Hart, will establish Special Districts Week May 19 – 25, 2024 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 register for Legislative Days before the April 24 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 Capitol 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 and advocate for special districts and the communities they serve.
