Join us for a practical workshop that will equip municipal clerks with essential skills to understand California’s legislative and regulatory landscape with confidence. This session will cover how a bill becomes law, the role of committees, and how CMCA’s legislative program advances advocacy goals. You’ll learn how to track legislation, interpret status updates, and decide when to support, oppose, or seek amendments.
The second part focuses on strengthening regulatory research skills using resources like the Brown Act, Political Reform Act, Public Records Act, Election Code, and FPPC regulations. Learn when to consult these laws, when to involve legal counsel, and how to find external resources.
Seasoned clerks will gain advanced strategies for influencing policy, handling complex legislation, and providing compliance-focused guidance while respecting the Clerk’s non-legal role.
