EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Tonight's agenda item represents a general Town of Oro Valley Legislative Agenda covering state and federal issues. This agenda identifies the recommended legislative priorities of the Town in the upcoming state legislative session and will guide the Town's requests and lobbying activities. Although the Legislative Agenda should remain flexible due to the unknown nature of bills introduced in the State Legislature, the general concepts and direction are provided here for Council discussion and approval. More specific information can be provided, as desired and necessary, after bills are actually introduced. The issues discussed in this report are based on the needs of the Town and what is known about anticipated legislation. Town staff and the Council Legislative Liaison will work closely throughout the legislative session in addressing a variety of issues and bills that may arise. BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: Town staff and the Council liaison will work closely throughout the legislative session in addressing a variety of issues and bills that may arise. Council Policy In 2008, the Town Council established protocol for the legislative efforts of the Town by approving the general Legislative Agenda through a resolution and adoption of a Council Communication that describes specific components of the legislative program. A basic principle in any lobbying effort is to speak with one voice, so this resolution establishes guidelines for those who represent the Town. For state legislative efforts, the Council uses staff and designates a Councilmember as Council Liaison to legislative districts 9 and 11. The Mayor also frequently interacts with other elected officials at all levels of government during the course of his duties and works with staff in ensuring any legislative efforts regionally, statewide or federally are coordinated in accordance with the Council-adopted agenda. League of Arizona Cities and Towns The Town’s intergovernmental liaison works closely with the League of Arizona Cities and Towns, specifically regarding state legislative issues with a strength-in-numbers approach to common interest legislation. The state legislative agenda is developed through involvement in the League resolutions process. The Mayor represents the Town of Oro Valley as a voting member of the Resolutions Committee, which is comprised of mayors from most Arizona municipalities. The adopted League resolutions and Municipal Policy Statement, included as Attachment 3, represent the mutual interests of Arizona cities and towns, and will guide the League in its lobbying efforts on behalf of all cities and towns in the state. The 54th State Legislature Staff will provide members of the Council with an updated version of "The Green Book," the Arizona Capitol Times guide to the Legislature, as soon as it becomes available. State Legislative Calendar / Process The Legislature typically operates on a 100-day calendar; however, the Governor also has the authority to call the Legislature into session to address specific issues. The 2nd Regular Session of the 54th Legislature will begin on Monday, January 13, 2020. Furthermore, the Legislature typically conducts business Monday through Thursday. The target date for the end of the regular session is April 22, 2020. Over 1,000 bills are introduced in the Legislature each session. In the Senate, all bills must be introduced within three weeks of the start of the session (January 13, 2020), and in the House, bills must be introduced within four weeks. As a result, all bills will be introduced prior to February 10, 2020, although there are provisions that allow members to submit bill amendments throughout the session, which effectively means that a bill with co-sponsors can be introduced at any time during the regular session.
