Legal counsel briefs board on recent bills and new fiscal training requirement
Summary
District counsel summarized several state bills affecting procurement, labor notice, financial disclosures and public access to contractor payroll records, and flagged a new two‑hour fiscal training requirement for local officials with compliance by Jan. 1, 2028.
Counsel briefed the board on legislation of interest for local agencies, including AB 692 (limits on employer‑reimbursement provisions), AB 339 (45‑day notice to represented employees before issuing RFPs to contract out work), and political reform changes affecting disclosure of prospective employment and digital financial assets. Counsel also flagged a provision that could require public agencies to obtain contractor payroll records on request.
Counsel emphasized a new statewide fiscal and financial training requirement intended to reduce instances of governance or financial mismanagement. "There's a 2 hour training mandated just like your ethics training… completed within 6 months of assuming office and once every 2 years thereafter," counsel said, and staff and the League/CSDA are working to develop accessible training options for incumbents and new directors.
