State Legislative Priorities

Overview

State Legislative Priorities

Each year, CWDA solicits input on legislative priorities from the county human services agencies and the association’s committees. The CWDA Board of Directors sets priorities for each legislative session. This section reflects updates on CWDA’s current legislative priorities, as well as outcomes of past priorities.
