TFCA Members,

TFCA is starting its legislative process now! TFCA is interested in learning what your legislative interests and concerns are. Please take a moment to give us your thoughts on what the legislative committee can begin to develop as a list of topics. You can submit as many topics or issues as you would like, but please submit a new form for each topic so we properly capture the information.

The interim session approach is to:

1. Update our relationships with elected officials and re-establish a formal scope of work
2. Educate members on local impact and advocacy
3. Gather the membership's interest and concerns leading to a TFCA prioritization list and focus for the session in 2025. The committee's recommendation for TFCA's 2025 89th legislative prioritization list will be presented to the TFCA executive board and membership for approval sometime between August-September 2024.

How would you like to participate in the legislative process for TFCA? Some chiefs are not permitted to do anything political other than monitor from afar. Check with your boss before diving in! Your level of further participation has no impact on your interests or concerns and submitting topics for consideration.

All In (Serve on committees, as a resource, testify, travel to and meet in Austin as needed, schedule time for phone conferences and comfortable with cold calling elective officials and/or their staff).

I'm here if you need me (Serve as a resource only as needed)
