Current Legislation:

CAPRCBM’s legislative program supports state and federal political actions of interest and concern to park and recreation agencies.  Our affiliations with the California Park and Recreation Society (CPRS) and National Park and Recreation Association (NRPA) provide us with a direct line to Congress and the California Legislature. Our advocacy is heard far and wide.  Locally, we send our messages through the CPRS Legislative Committee with the assistance of Doug Houston, the CPRS Legislative Advocate.  We continually monitor bills that could impact parks and recreation, sharing our concerns with congressional and legislative leaders as well as the Governor. For a complete update on bills being tracked by CAPRCBM, go the www.cprs.org and click on the Advocacy link. From that link, you can access the “hot button” for current legislation as well as other hot buttons for the legislative process, legislative committee, tools and resources, and so forth.

If you are concerned about a specific bill or language in a staff or legislative committee report, please contact Paul Romero, Executive Director at www.caprcbm@sbcglobal.net.
