County departments and agencies interested in making a state or federal legislative request or a federal appropriations request are asked to begin developing their priorites each June in order to allow sufficient time for review before a final package is adopted and ready for the beginning of the State legislative session, which normally begins the following March.
Submit your legislative or appropriations request to the designated federal or state coordinator.
