Help Ensure ACCG's CLC Network is Up-to-Date
 Print this article
The 2018 legislative session is just around the corner and, as usual, there will be no shortage of bills significantly impacting Georgia’s counties. As we prepare for the session and in our going mission to heighten county involvement in the legislative process, ACCG is updating its list of County Legislative Coordinators (CLCs) and needs your assistance.
ACCG established the CLC network in 2010 to help improve communications among and between counties and legislators while the General Assembly is in session. The CLC will serve two primary roles:
help keep county commissioners and county management updated on legislation of importance to counties (this information is provided by ACCG’s weekly Legislative Updates), and
- help keep county commissioners and county management updated on legislation of importance to counties (this information is provided by ACCG’s weekly Legislative Updates), and
- provide your county-specific information to ACCG and your legislative delegation to help policymakers assess the impact of proposed legislation on your county.
Further details on the responsibilities of a CLC can be found here.
ACCG is requesting counties’ assistance in the following areas:
- Please review the list of 2017 county-appointed CLCs as a reference;
- If your CLC remains the same, please confirm that this is correct;
- If your county’s CLC will be someone else, or your county did not designate a CLC for 2017 but you would like to do so this year, please let us know.
County chairmen are asked to designate the CLC. ACCG recommends that counties then officially designate their CLC by passing a resolution at a commission meeting. Once the resolution passes, ACCG will need a copy of it for our files as well as the name, title, office and cell phone numbers and email address for your CLC.
To update, confirm or appoint a CLC, or to provide ACCG your CLC resolution, please contact Nicole Logan at nlogan@accg.org (fax: 404-589-7820). She will be able to answer any questions and provide additional information if needed.
