Legislative Presentations

Overview

Legislative Past Presentations

CALBO’s Legislative Team hosts occasional membership-wide presentations about our ongoing advocacy efforts in Sacramento. Below is an archive of the previous presentations given to our membership.

The presentations summarize the intent of proposed legislation, address how it may impact local building departments, and provides other relevant information about bills coming from Sacramento. Please note, this information and CALBO’s position may have changed on bills since the legislature moves quickly and changes legislation throughout the legislative process.  For the most up-to-date information on bills, please visit the CALBO Bill Report. 

Please note, none of the presentations or interpretations of bills should be used for legal advice as this is an interpretation of the policy developed. We strongly encourage you to reach out to your city attorneys should you have any further legal questions on state law.

If have any questions, please contact the CALBO Office at info@calbo.org or 916-457-1103.

CALBO Legislative Webinar Series – Fall 2024

In this webinar, the CALBO Legislative Team provides an overview of the major trends shaping the legislature during the 2023-2024 session, updates the membership on the movement of key bills through the requisite process, and discusses our impact within the public policy space. This presentation intends to inform attendees of the political dynamics that influence legislators to draft bills with substantial impact on the day-to-day operations of code officials, while explaining how institutional complexities shape the language over time to comport with legislative priorities.

This is a critical update before Governor Gavin Newsom falls under a September 30th constitutional deadline to act on all legislation sent to his desk, and well ahead of the implementation of nearly all these new policies on January 1st, 2025.

For any questions about this upcoming event, please contact the CALBO Office or 916-457-1103.
