City of San Leandro <br />2022 Federal Legislative Platform and Policy Guidelines <br />Scheduled for City Council Consideration: January 10, 2022 <br /> <br />The City of San Leandro’s federal legislative agenda for 2022 is designed to reflect the adopted <br />priorities and policy direction of the Mayor and City Council with direct input from the City <br />Administration. This strategic agenda also includes advocating for legislation, regulations, and <br />funding that is consistent with the City’s adopted priorities. Adoption of this document is designed <br />to provide standing authority for the Mayor and members of the City Council, City staff, or the <br />City’s legislative advocates to take action on pending legislative matters on behalf of the City of <br />San Leandro when time or other constraints preclude bringing such matters before the City <br />Council in advance. Such actions could include issuing letters, attending or scheduling meetings, <br />or otherwise advocating for actions that are consistent with the policy language contained herein. <br />This document is also designed to provide the public and the City’s advocates a better <br />understanding of the Mayor and City Council’s policy preferences regarding a variety of legislative <br />and intergovernmental issues that might arise during the course of the year at the federal level. <br /> <br />Summary of Federal Policy Issues for Advocacy or Monitoring: <br /> <br />Affordable Care Act: Support efforts to expand health insurance coverage to the public and <br />retain or build upon key provisions within the Affordable Care Act Act that provide insurance <br />coverage for at-risk populations. Support funding for Community Health Centers. <br /> <br />Broadband Infrastructure. Support federal programs that help facilitate the expansion of <br />public and private access to broadband and the protection of public wi-fi system integrity, and <br />the inclusion of broadband in the definition of infrastructure. Support efforts to protect local land <br />use authority over related infrastructure. Support efforts to restore network neutrality protections <br />and provide a level playing field among market competitors. Oppose federal actions that would <br />limit consumer protections or otherwise limit local control. <br /> <br />Cannabis Regulation. Support modifying the Schedule I status of cannabis at the federal level, <br />including efforts that would facilitate additional scientific research and study. Support efforts to <br />protect public safety and facilitate effective regulation, including access to the banking system. <br />Oppose federal actions that interfere with states’ rights to oversee a regulated market or restrict <br />local control. <br /> <br />Carbon Fee and Dividend. Support the exploration of innovative ways of addressing carbon <br />emissions at the federal level, including proposals for a national carbon fee & dividend. Such a <br />program would assess a fee at the sources of fossil fuel extraction or other activities that generate <br />carbon emissions. Program revenues could then be returned to American households in the form <br />of a dividend, or otherwise used to bolster environmental protection efforts. <br /> <br /> <br />Climate Emergency, Climate Change Mitigation, and Adaptation. Support federal action <br />to address the climate emergency and adapt to immediate impacts such as wildfire smoke & heat <br />waves, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Oppose efforts to weaken federal environmental <br />regulations. Support sustainability programs and infrastructure that reduce energy usage, climate <br />vulnerability and risk, and emissions.
