How to Get Involved in the Legislative Process

Stay Informed

Life gets busy, but you must take the time to stay informed about issues affecting your profession. Things happen very quickly at the Capitol. Stay on top of our emails and the actions requested in each. Utilize the State Legislature's great, free tracking tool MyLegis. You can track up to 50 measures and receive updates on any actions taken on those instruments. To sign up, go to www.legis.la.gov and click "Sign Up" in the upper right corner. 

Know Your Legislators

The very best action you can take is to get to know your legislators. They want to know their constituents. If you have not met your legislators, take the time now to squeeze in a meeting with them. One great way to accomplish that is to...

Visit the Capitol!

While we advise meetings or visits in your district, legislators spend so much of their time at the Capitol. Call their legislative aide before you head over to get a feel for their schedule.

Discuss Your Issues

Don't be shy about discussing issues with your colleagues and legislators. Become a resource to your legislator by informing them on particular issues.

LACDL monitors and takes a position on proposed legislation. Each year we fight an uphill battle to educate legislators on issues important to LACDL.  We rely on our members to discuss the issues with their legislators and to testify at the Capitol.  To get involved:
