We cannot lobby on 28 positions in any given session. We do not have active program committees following legislation in all program areas. For the three priority areas chosen, the board will need to find knowledgeable League members, working independently or in coalition, who will follow the legislation. It may be that no action on the chosen items occurs in the legislative session. It is very difficult to say, even three months in advance, which pieces of legislation will come before committees and move on to the Senate or Assembly.
Most legislation is introduced, assigned to a committee and never heard from again.
Other legislative negotiations occur behind closed doors and legislation is on the fast track when introduced. Imagine that a number of legislative proposals have been introduced, all at the same time. Each negatively affects a different League position, in a modest way. We'd be concerned about any of them if they became law. Unfortunately, we can only afford to put resources into opposing at most 3 of these proposals.
