BACKGROUND INFORMATION On December 10, 2019, the Board approved the 2020 Legislative Affairs Program Guidelines. The Board approves the Legislative Affairs Program Guidelines in advance of each legislative session to allow the County to continue to pursue critical policy initiatives in Sacramento and Washington DC. STATEWIDE BALLOT INITIATIVE MEASURES POLICY AMENDMENT TO THE 2020 LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS PROGRAM GUIDELINES Per Board directive during the September 29, 2020 Board meeting the following County Counsel reviewed statewide ballot initiative measure policy is recommended to be added to the 2020 Legislative Affairs Program Guidelines: Statewide Ballot Initiative Measures* Any Supervisor may act as an individual to support or oppose a statewide ballot initiative measure (“Initiative”) at any time. However, any individual action is not an official position by the Orange County Board of Supervisors. The Board may consider taking a position on an Initiative provided the following conditions have been met: • The Initiative has qualified by the California Secretary of State and will be included in an upcoming statewide election. Initiatives that are in circulation for signature gathering or have been submitted to the California Secretary of State for signature verification will not be considered. • The Initiative may have an impact on County finances, programs or operations, or meets an approved Policy Statement in in the most current Legislative Platform document. Once these conditions are met, any Supervisor may, via memo, request and direct the County Executive Officer (CEO) to have an impartial analysis of the Initiative prepared. The other Board offices shall be copied on the memo request. The CEO-Legislative Affairs Office (CEO-LA) in consultation with impacted Department(s) and County Counsel will draft an independent analysis and file it in the Legislative Bulletin under the “Information” section for an upcoming Board meeting. The analysis will include the following information: a. Proposition Number b. Subject c. Title d. Date of Qualification Page 2 of 23 e. Background f. Election Date on which the Initiative will appear g. A summary of the Initiative h. Arguments in support i. Arguments in opposition j. A list of supporters k. A list of opposition l. Impact to the County-fiscal, operational or other m. Applicable Legislative Platform Policy Statement n. Name of Supervisor making the request The analysis shall not encourage members of the public to adopt the County’s view, vote one way or the other on the measure, or take any other actions supporting or opposing the measure. The Board will consider the item and determine a recommended action sufficiently in advance of the election to enable the Board’s action to be relevant, and to the extent possible, to enable the Board to postpone and reconsider the measure at a later Board hearing. If a position is approved by a majority of the Board members, it will be considered the official position of the County of Orange. * Per the California Constitution, “Statewide Ballot Initiative Measures” is defined as an initiative statute, constitutional amendment or referendum.
