Ratification of Letter of Opposition for AB 1337 (Ward)
End
Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Ratify letter to oppose AB 1337 (Ward).
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board of Supervisors regularly issues support or opposition letters that align with the 2026 Legislative Platform.
Summary of Request:
AB 1337 (Ward) proposes to apply the Information Practices Act of 1977 (IPA) in its entirety to all 58 counties, 483 cities, over 1,000 school districts, county offices of education, approximately 2,200 independent special districts, as well as hundreds of joint powers authorities (JPAs), regional bodies, and other public agencies.
Recent amendments to the bill introduce several changes to the IPA itself, raising new questions about how state and local agencies will be able to continue operating various programs effectively. This proposed change is costly and unnecessary, and could potentially jeopardize the delivery of essential services to our communities and students.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling
Strategic Plan Priority Designation: An Effective County Government
Supervisorial District: All
Vote Requirement: Majority
