Advocacy Public Documents

The September 2026 edition of the CSDA Governor’s Desk Edition highlights the activities of CSDA legislative advocates at the State Capitol during the final days of the 2025-2026 legislative session. They successfully opposed a last-minute proposal to transfer wildfire utility liability to local governments, while also listing significant bills awaiting Governor Gavin Newsom's signature or veto, focusing on issues affecting special districts such as workplace surveillance, public employee retirement benefits, and housing regulations. CSDA is advocating for vetoes on several bills that could negatively impact local governance and public agency budgets, and encourages feedback on advocacy priorities for the next legislative session.
