The City Council adopted the 2026 Legislative Platform to guide the consideration of state and federal bills that affect City operations. Legislators introduced approximately 1800 bills. Staff, lobbyist consultants and Cal Cities continue to review this legislation.
Upcoming Deadlines:
June 15 - Budget bill must be passed by midnight.
July 2 - Last Day for policy committees to meet and pass bills.
July 2 - Summer recess begins upon adjournment of session.
2026 is also an election year, and the final year in Governor Newsom’s term.
Discussion
This report provides updates on legislation of concern in the second year of this legislative session. Staff continue to monitor these bills, and others as the legislative session continues. They will also collaborate with Cal Cities and our lobbyist teams on future City Council consideration for official positions on bills working their way through the legislative process.
The following bills best align with the City’s state legislative priorities, and staff believe that they would have a possible impact on the city.

Environmental Review
The proposed action does not constitute a “project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000 - 15387), and is therefore not subject to environmental review pursuant to Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3).
Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adopting the proposed resolution. Unknown fiscal impacts are associated with the bills noted in Attachment A. A more thorough analysis of each bill’s implementation requirements is needed to demonstrate total fiscal impact.
