(SANTA BARBARA, Calif.) – The County of Santa Barbara Legislative Program Committee has drafted a 2025 platform of prioritized legislative principles, specific issues, projects and programs that warrant targeted advocacy, funding requests, and/or legislation by the County. Public review and input on the 2025 draft Legislative Platform are welcome prior to December 13, 2024. The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to review and approve the 2025 Legislative Platform at the January 7, 2025 Board of Supervisors Meeting.
Established in 1991, the Legislative Program Committee is an advisory body to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. A dynamic program of County sponsored legislative actions is developed and tracked by the Committee with the assistance of County departments and legislative advocates in Washington, D.C. and Sacramento. The Committee meets almost monthly and public comment is welcome. Each year, the Committee drafts a proposed Legislative Platform that is recommended to the Board of Supervisors for subsequent review and approval.
