CEAC Policy & Legislative Proposal Process
The annual Policy and Legislative Priorities are best achieved through collaboration and shared responsibility. To achieve the following, CEAC, CSAC staff, and individual county staff must combine resources, including policy and technical knowledge and expertise to maximize our influence, efficacy, and successful outcomes.
As such, CEAC members have the opportunity to submit legislative and policy proposals for the 2017-18 legislative session during CEAC’s Policy Conference in Sacramento, August 17-18, 2016.
