LEGISLATIVE AGENDA AND LOBBYING FRAMEWORK
A.
Background:
A legislative agenda establishes the County’s priorities for
proposed changes to state and federal laws, funding, and
policies that affect county operations. It provides direction to
the Board of Commissioners, County staff, and legislative
delegation when considering or advocating for legislation.
The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners
(NCACC) develops a statewide legislative agenda before
each legislative biennium through a member-driven process.
Counties may submit proposals approved by their boards of
commissioners, after which the proposals are reviewed
through NCACC’s steering committees and membership
process. The final agenda is adopted by county delegates at
the NCACC Legislative Goals Conference and guides the
Association’s advocacy on behalf of North Carolina’s 100
counties.
Requested Action:
Direct staff to submit identified legislative priorities to the
North Carolina Association of County Commissioners and
schedule a meeting with the local delegation prior to the start
of long session by the North Carolina General Assembly.
