Yearly changes in state legislation can bring

“Legislative updates kick off every new year of programming with
Illinois Extension's Local Government Education webinar series.
The previous year’s legislation has made its way into local
budgets by December in many Illinois counties,” says Nancy
Ouedraogo, community and economic development specialist at
Illinois Extension. “The goal of our annual state legislative
update is to help officials plan for operation and
implementation of policy changes at departmental levels.”
Presenters Kelly Murray and Taylor Anderson from Illinois
Association of County Board Members cover recent and potential
changes in state legislation and implications for local
governments. Participants will have an opportunity to ask
questions during a Q&A session at the end of each presentation.

Opportunity, Murray serves as executive director for the
Illinois Association of County Board Members and is a registered
