On Monday, December 7th, the Legislature will convene the 2021-22 Legislative Session by swearing-in new Senators and Assembly Members and introducing legislative measures (bills, resolutions, constitutional amendments, etc.). The Organizational Session, which traditionally lasts about four days, allows both houses to adopt legislative rules and introduce key legislation before the winter holiday. In an unprecedented move due to COVID-19, the Assembly will hold its swearing-in/organization meeting at the Golden 1 Center, home of the National Basketball Association’s Sacramento Kings. The Senate will convene in its traditional chambers.
The Legislature is slated to reconvene on January 4, 2021. The 2021 tentative legislative calendar for the Senate can be accessed here; the Assembly can be accessed here.
As legislative measures are introduced, RCRC’s Government Affairs staff will review the bills to assess their impact on RCRC member counties. During the 2021 Legislative Session, RCRC member counties are encouraged to share letters addressed to state and federal representatives and regulatory bodies with RCRC staff. For more information regarding state legislative activities, please contact the RCRC Governmental Affairs staff at (916) 447-4806.
