2025 Legislative Program
Every year, the state and federal governments propose and adopt new laws. The Office of Economic Development and Government Affairs (EDGA) monitors state and federal legislation to act and respond to proposed laws that impact the County and its residents. To help frame our advocacy efforts at the state and federal level, the County develops an annual Legislative Program to outline policy directives and legislative priorities.

The County’s Legislative Program covers a range of issues that are anticipated to have a significant impact on the County, its operations, budget, and the communities we serve— and gives the County authority to advocate for or against bills related to these topics. Examples of priority issues the County might engage on include affordable housing, climate change, homelessness, equity and justice, public health, and safety.
Developing the Legislative Program is a collaborative process. EDGA works with County departments, County boards and commissions, and community members to determine which subject areas are most relevant to San Diegans. EDGA then compiles suggestions from all participants to inform the draft Legislative Program, which will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for consideration in December 2024.
