BACKGROUND
Background
Each year, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners identifies legislative priorities to help guide the County’s engagement with the County’s state and federal legislative delegations.
The proposed 2027 Legislative Agenda outlines key policy and funding priorities that support the County’s ability to deliver essential public services, address community needs, and maintain long-term fiscal sustainability. These priorities reflect the County’s strategic goals, operational responsibilities, and opportunities for collaboration among local, state, and federal partners.
Adoption of the Legislative Agenda will provide a flexible framework for County leadership and staff to communicate with state and federal lawmakers, the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC), and other legislative partners. The agenda is intended to serve as a living document that may be refined or supplemented at the Board’s direction as community needs, legislative developments, and funding opportunities evolve.
Throughout the state and federal legislative sessions, County staff will monitor proposed legislation, provide updates to the Board, and coordinate advocacy efforts guided by the agenda and the Board’s ongoing direction.
