The primary responsibility of the Advisory Committee on Legislation (ACL) is to advise the League boards (CCCT/CEOCCC) on state and federal legislation affecting community colleges, and advocacy strategies. The committee reviews legislation and related issues requiring legislative resolution, develops appropriate legislative solutions and recommends appropriate league advocacy priorities.

The League’s Annual Legislative Conference provides a unique opportunity to connect with other advocates and learn the latest news on higher education in California.  During this two-day conference, attendees are encouraged to visit their legislative representatives and advocate for higher education.
