SB 1266 became effective on January 1, 2017. The legislation is the result of recommendations contained in a Legislative Analyst’s Office report and is intended to assist LAFCOs in meeting their long-standing directive from the Legislature to document, assess and facilitate shared local public service opportunities among counties, cities and special districts. The legislation also advances the Legislature’s interest in LAFCOs serving as a community resource by developing more inclusive repositories on local government services for the benefit of the public.
