The Regulatory Process; the key to successful policy implementation
The legislative “bill introduction”
deadline has just passed. This year, February 18 marked the
last day for all state legislators to propose new initiatives for
the state. In a term limited environment, legislators
take this opportunity to change policy seriously realizing that
their time to impact policy is narrow.
For organizations like California Building Officials (CALBO), our work is cut out for us. The state affords us 30 days to review all legislative proposals, or bills, prior to the state legislature’s ability to act. In theory, this gives us all an opportunity to see what has been proposed, examine its impact upon our constituency, and prepare an appropriate response. This year is no different and CALBO has gone to work.
