Referral History:
The Legislation Committee monitors and provides direction on federal and state budgetary, legislative, and regulatory matters of interest to the County. With the recent adoption of the State Budget and the enactment of the federal budget reconciliation bill, County staff are working to analyze fiscal and operational impacts to the County and those we serve.
Referral Update:
Since the passage of H.R. 1 and the state budget agreement, County staff have been working to understand the impacts to the county and the people we serve.
Several other major policy concerns include:
• Health, Medicaid (Medi-Cal) and major impacts from H.R. 1 and the state budget package.
• Social Safety Net Services, including impacts from H.R. 1 and the state budget package.
• Emergency/Disaster Preparedness and Response.
A sample table for major impacts is included to help guide the discussion of how to present these impacts in a clear and understandable way.
In addition to finalizing initial analysis of H.R. 1, other internal priorities include:
• Developing sponsored bill ideas.
• Education and outreach on H.R. 1 and state budget impacts.
• Researching policies that can help enhance preparedness for emergencies and improve long-term economic stability of local governments.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
DISCUSS and provide feedback on potential off-season legislative activities, analysis and outreach.
