Supported Legislation
Each legislative session, CalSPAC delegates review dozens of bills for possible action on behalf of our member Leagues. Each bill that CalSPAC supports is thoroughly evaluated for its impact and alignment with CalSPAC's position statements and its member Leagues' issues, projects, and community partners. CalSPAC delegates write letters of support at each stage of the legislative cycle and are often asked to testify in committee hearings on the bills that CalSPAC supports.
CalSPAC is currently supporting the following bills for the 2015-2016 legislative session:
