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 for CSDA to sponsor legislation in the 2022 legislative year. Share your legislative proposal by completing and submitting the 2022 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 final approval.
In 2021, CSDA sponsored two bills, Assembly Concurrent Resolution 17 and Assembly Bill 361. ACR 17 (Voepel) proclaims the week of May 16, 2021, to May 22, 2021, to be Special Districts Week. AB 361 (Rivas) would ensure continued service delivery during state declared emergencies. AB 361 is currently headed for a floor vote in the Senate.
The deadline for CSDA members to submit a 2022 Legislative Proposal Submission Form is September 30, 2021. For any questions, please contact CSDA Legislative Analyst Marcus Detwiler at marcusd@csda.net.
