CDC LEGISLATIVE OFFICE
The CDC Legislative Office is located at 1127
11th Street, Suite 820, Sacramento, California 95814. The firm of
Michael J. Arnold & Associates, Inc. provides legislative services for the
California Dialysis Council, and has served in this role since the inception of
the organization. The two lobbyists at our lobbying firm are Michael J. Arnold,
Legislative Advocate, and Kristian E. Foy, Legal Counsel.
The CDC Legislative Office reviews all
legislation introduced in Sacramento and identifies proposals which are of
interest to the CDC. The CDC Board reviews these bills and establishes the CDC
position. Our lobbyists then pursue our issues during the course of the
legislative process in an attempt to influence the outcome of public policy as
directed by the CDC Board.
We have been very effective over the years in
amending legislation sponsored by others and in securing passage of legislation
sponsored by the CDC.
One of the documents generated by our
legislative office is the "Legislative Status Report"
which shows all the bills we are following and the position we are taking on
those measures. You may view this document on our website.
CDC reviews approximately 5,000 pieces of
legislation every year to determine whether the measures have any impact on the
dialysis community.
