To be included in the Committee analysis, letters in support or opposition of a bill must be submitted to the Committee five (5) business days prior to the day of the scheduled hearing on that bill. All letters must clearly articulate the position of the organization or individual, must be on a letterhead indicating the identity of the organization or individual, and must be signed. A person authorized by the organization to represent its official position must sign letters from an organization.
Please note:
As the bill (s) move through the process please ensure that your position letter is up to date and that it reflects the latest version of the bill. It is the responsibility of organizations/individuals to submit an updated position letter to the Committee if the organization's/individual's position changes. Updated position letters must reference the most current version of the bill and clearly state the new stance the organization(s)/individual(s) have adopted.
Ways to Submit Letters:
The Committee is accepting position letters electronically through the California Legislature Advocates Portal. The portal is available to individuals, advocates, and lobbyists through the Committee’s website or via the following link https://calegislation.lc.ca.gov/Advocates/
An account will need to be created. Once an account is available position letters submitted through this portal will automatically be available to the committee(s) selected. Multiple committees are listed for a bill when the bill has been referred to and is active in each of the committees listed.
Letters may also be submitted by mail or be hand delivered to the Committee’s office at 1020 N Street, Room 156, Sacramento, CA 95814
