The California State Legislature reconvened from its summer recess this week to complete its work on hundreds of pending bills before August 31. Governor Gavin Newsom will then have one month to sign or veto any legislation arriving on his desk at the conclusion of the legislative session. Download CSDA’s Mid-Year Legislative Report for an in-depth look on the status of CSDA-priority legislation at this key juncture in the legislative process.
CSDA – with the help of our special district members – successfully advocated on numerous bills in connection with their house of origin deadline. A number of CSDA budgetary priorities were also included in the signed 2022-23 California State Budget.
The Legislature reconvened on August 1 with the first legislative deadline being August 12 for fiscal committees to meet and report on bills, and for bills to be removed from the committee’s suspense file. From August 15-31, there will be no policy committee meetings, only Assembly and Senate floor sessions, with August 25 being the last day to amend bills this year.
August 31 is the last day for each house to pass legislation. CSDA is already communicating with the Governor’s office to advocate on legislation heading toward passage. September 30 will be the last day for Governor Gavin Newsom to sign or veto bills that have reached his desk.
CSDA will continue to work diligently on behalf of all special districts, throughout the last remaining weeks of the legislative year. For all the latest advocacy updates, be sure to subscribe to CSDA’s Advocacy News community.
