Legislative Priorities: Causes We’re Championing
In addition to the work CCI performs to ensure that bills do not result in unfunded mandates for counties and are properly resourced for successful implementation, our organization also proactively initiates member-approved legislation that addresses inefficiencies, launches new programs and tools, and revises existing law to more accurately reflect on-the-ground implementation realities. CCI members approve, on average, six to eight issues each year — more than any other association.
2027 Legislative Priorities & Policy Statement Adopted
At the October 2 Legislative Committee meeting, CCI members officially adopted the legislative priorities for the 2027 session. These proposals, submitted by counties across the state, will guide CCI’s advocacy efforts in the upcoming year.
The full list of adopted priorities is available below.
The 2027 Policy Statement was also adopted. It will serve as a guide for evaluating legislation and establishing CCI positions throughout the session.
The full Policy Statement is also available below.
