Each year CCI proactively initiates around six to eight member approved legislative priorities to address county needs that are shared around the state. Priorities should be realistic and closely related to the conduct of County Commissioners. Additionally, all proposals must have the support of the entire Board of County Commissioners (BOCC).
Please note if you would like to submit a proposal to be considered by CCI, staff will rely heavily on you to provide expertise and support throughout the Legislative Priority selection process, as well as during the 2024 legislative session. This can take many forms and could include presenting the proposal at CCI meetings, rallying support among fellow commissioners, drafting proposed legislative language, lead stake holding meetings, testifying, and considering feedback from opponents.
Please read the following Memorandum from CCI staff that describes the Legislative Priority Process in detail and contains important meeting dates. The submission form is in the memorandum. Please send proposed legislation forms by July 7, 2023 to Brittney Becerra.
For questions or concerns, please reach out to Brittney Becerra.
