CCI’s Policy Statement was developed through a broad-based, membership-driven process of policy development. Each year, the Legislative Committee considers legislative proposals and policy statement changes recommended by each of the steering committees before the beginning of each legislative session. Changes to the policy statement are adopted if they reach a 65% approval threshold.

The nine CCI steering committees correspond to the nine general areas in which CCI focuses its work.  The steering committees convene regularly during the legislative session and are charged with the responsibility of adopting CCI’s position on specific legislation as it is introduced. The statement serves as a guide to those committees as they debate issues and take a “CCI position.”
