Brief

Councilmember Nithya Raman introduced this resolution on August 4, 2026, to establish Los Angeles' state legislative agenda for the coming year.

The resolution was immediately referred to the Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee, where it currently sits pending review and committee action.

Full summary

This resolution, introduced by Councilmember Nithya Raman and seconded by Councilmember Adrin Nazarian, establishes the City of Los Angeles' official state legislative program for 2025-2026. The file addresses several interconnected policy areas: it calls for full restoration and protection of ongoing appropriations at the state level, particularly those related to Tier 3 programs; it encompasses proposed modifications to the state's cap-and-invest program; and it includes various regulatory changes the City wishes to advance in Sacramento. While the specific directives within the resolution are not detailed in the available legislative record, the title structure suggests the City is positioning itself to advocate for state funding preservation, environmental policy adjustments through cap-and-invest mechanisms, and broader regulatory reforms during the 2025-2026 legislative session. The resolution was introduced on August 4, 2026, and referred immediately to the Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee. As of the most recent activity on the same date, the file remains pending in committee. With an expiration date set for August 4, 2028, the City has until then to move the resolution through committee and to Council for adoption. The committee will determine whether to advance it to the full Council for a vote, modify its language, or hold it for further deliberation.
