ACCG County Platform

 

The Association County Commissioners of Georgia is pleased to present the 2013-2014 County Platform. Our policy committees spend many hours in meetings and communication with one another over each summer developing their platform chapter recommendations.  Their recommendations are considered by the Policy Council and voted on by the membership each fall at the Legislative Leadership Conference.

This document represents the final policies that will guide the association’s advocay efforts on issues under consideration by the Georgia General Assembly and Congress.

Legislative Priorities

 

The Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) works on behalf of counties and their communities to provide public policy development and legislative advocacy on issues that come before the Georgia General Assembly and the U.S. Congress.  As part of ACCG’s policy development process, county officials identify specific, actionable items for the Association’s lobbyists to further.  These items, that are called the Legislative Agenda, are recommended by the ACCG Policy Council, approved by the Board of Managers and voted upon by the ACCG membership at the Legislative Leadership Conference as part of the County Platform.
