LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
2026 State Priorities
The City of Chino’s 2026 State Legislative Priorities communicate the City’s focused advocacy goals and its intent to direct its legislative efforts to legislative proposals, funding, policy issues, and regulations of specific interest and benefit to the City.
The City of Chino supports direct State funding to cities to support critical city services; supports local policy decision-making on local issues; and opposes State policies that undermine local government regulatory authority, shift costs to local governments, or impose unfunded mandates or preempt local government revenues. The City advocates for the State to:
INVEST IN LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Seek ongoing, equitable funding sources provided directly to cities and supportive policy solutions to address and facilitate the backlog of city infrastructure projects.
Support legislation that provides funding for water, wastewater, stormwater infrastructure and water quality improvement.
Support legislation that provides funding for the development, rehabilitation, and improvement of local parks and community facilities.
Support ongoing and sustainable transportation infrastructure funding, including for the maintenance of streets.
Support policies that facilitate and expedite the development and delivery of infrastructure projects.
FACILITATE AND INCREASE HOUSING SUPPLY; PROTECT LOCAL CONTROL OVER LAND USE AND ZONING Support legislation that provides cities with flexibility and resources to support the development of affordable housing options and programs.
Oppose proposals that reduce the City’s discretion over land use and zoning.
REDUCE FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE BURDENS ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT Oppose legislation that would impose State mandates, especially those that are unfunded, require the diversion of City resources, or create costly administrative burdens.
Oppose proposals that would preempt or reduce local discretion over local revenue sources.
Support legislation that simplifies the pass-through of federal funding from the State to local agencies.
ADOPT POLICIES AND PROVIDE FUNDING IN SUPPORT OF PUBLIC SAFETY Support legislation and funding that promote traffic, pedestrian, and e-bike safety.
Support funding for the implementation of Prop 36, which was passed by voters in 2024 to allow felony charges and increased sentences for certain drug and theft crimes.
