Legislative Priorities
Each session, 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, CCI proactively initiates member-approved legislation that addresses inefficiencies, launches new programs and tools counties can use to address the needs of their communities, and revises existing law to better reflect on-the-ground implementation realities. CCI members approve, on average, six to eight issues each year (more than any other association).
“…initiated legislation should be realistic and closely related to the conduct of our members’ responsibilities if we are to retain a high level of credibility. Local elected officials’ groups, county and otherwise, as well as other interest groups, should be encouraged to find sponsors for and initiate their own proposals, allowing our members and CCI to take a supportive role when the bill is introduced”
