Legislative

The Legislative Advocacy Committee identifies and studies legislation of importance to older adults in Marin County.  It may request support from the Marin County Commission on Aging and/or the Marin County Board of Supervisors for specific legislation.  It may act on pending legislation that is covered in the Marin County Federal and State Legislative Platform by sending letters of support or opposition to the California Senior Legislature (CSL), or by providing testimony at hearings.  

The committee provides recommendations for older adult policy priorities to the Board of Supervisors as input to the County’s Federal and State Legislative Platform on an annual basis. It advocates for favorable local, state, and federal legislation on behalf of older adults.
