As 2022 comes to an end, CALBO’s
legislative team would like to wish our CALBO family a happy
holiday season with your family and friends this
December. We hope you all have a restful and enjoyable
December in preparation for what is expected to be a busy
2023-2024 Legislative Session. In the November
elections, California voters had the first opportunity to select
their new elected officials with the newly established
legislative districts in both the California State Assembly and
the California State Senate. The elections were
officially certified last week and CALBO’s legislative team
officially knows the make-up of the legislative body we will be
working with in Sacramento next legislative session which is set
begin on January 1, 2023. Before covering the specifics of the
new legislature, let’s put a “bow” if you will on the 2021-2022
Legislative Session.
CALBO’s Legislative Team has been working hard this fall and winter in providing more resources for our membership to prepare for the incoming laws that will officially hit the books in 2023. CALBO hosted a legislative webinar on October 27th that covered the significant pieces of legislation that will impact your departments in the next couple of years. A big thank you to the 200+ participants who attended our first legislative webinar. If you were not able to attend and would like a copy of the free PowerPoint, please email bguertin@calbo.org and I am happy to provide that to you. In 2023, CALBO’s Legislative Team plans on hosting several free webinars at critical times of the legislative session to update our membership on bills coming from Sacramento and answer any questions or concerns you all may have on the bills. Please check your emails for these free opportunities to participate and have your voices heard.
Additionally, CALBO launched a new project on the CALBO Website called the “Guide to Changes in State Law”. These articles cover specific details about bills that will become law in the very near future and provide guidance on best practices that local jurisdictions can use to provide the best service to their communities while complying with new state laws. You can find our first and second installments of the project here: https://www.calbo.org/guide-changes-state-law . CALBO’s legislative team is planning on developing several articles about the new laws local jurisdictions will have to be aware of as the new year begins since this is when most of the bills signed last year will become state law.
As CALBO’s Legislative Team prepares for
the upcoming 2023-2024 Legislative Session, CALBO members and our
local jurisdictions are preparing for recently signed legislation
to officially become enacted in 2023. To help our membership
prepare for the changes in law, CALBO’s Legislative Team is
working on publishing a guide to the newly signed laws on the
CALBO Legislative website. The goal of this effort is to
provide short articles about the major laws and what they will
mean for our membership on the ground.
These articles will include specific details of the laws and provide guidance on best practices that local jurisdictions can use to assist in compliance with the law, while providing the best service to your communities. To be clear, this is not legal advice, so we strongly encourage you to reach out to your city attorneys should you have any further legal questions on the new laws. You can find all the articles here.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Brady Guertin, CALBO’s Public Affairs Manager at bguertin@calbo.org or call the CALBO office at 916-457-1103.
CALBO’s Legislative Updates page is a useful source for our membership to stay up to date on our organization’s ongoing advocacy efforts.

As you start to navigate through the different sections of this webpage, use the helpful guide below to assist with finding valuable information.
