Santa Barbara County Solicits Public Input on 2027 Legislative Platform

Santa Barbara Santa Maria San Luis Obispo, CA, October 9, 2026 — Santa Barbara County is actively seeking input from its residents regarding the development of its 2027 Legislative Platform. This platform serves as a crucial document outlining the county’s key priorities and objectives for state and federal advocacy efforts.

The initiative aims to gather a broad range of perspectives before the platform is finalized for the upcoming legislative sessions. Community members have been provided with specific channels to voice their opinions and suggestions. Feedback can be submitted through a dedicated online survey or via email.

The deadline for submitting comments is set for Friday, October 23rd. This date is critical, as it precedes the formal review process by the Board of Supervisors.

Following the public comment period, the Board of Supervisors is scheduled to convene in January to review the proposed 2027 Legislative Platform. This review will incorporate the feedback received from the community, alongside the county’s strategic goals, to shape the final document. The platform will guide the county’s legislative agenda and advocacy efforts at both the state and federal levels, addressing issues deemed important for Santa Barbara County’s future development and well-being.

Further details on how to access the survey or the specific email address for submissions were not detailed in the provided information. However, the county emphasizes the importance of public participation in this policy-making process.
