The following are federal and state bills that the City Council has taken a position on during the current Federal and State Legislation Session. \u00a0Included with each of the bills listed is a link to the bill language, the City\u2019s staff report to the City Council regarding the measure, and letters to legislators communicating the City Council\u2019s \u00a0official position on each bill, which is reflective of the position adopted by the City Council.<\/p>
