1.

The Office of Intergovernmental Affairs shall prepare federal and state legislative packages for the Board's consideration and approval.

2.

The Office shall prepare and submit to the Board for approval an annual timetable for preparation, consideration and approval of the federal and state legislative packages. Such timetable shall ensure that the Board has the ability to approve the packages a sufficient amount of time before appropriations and bill filing deadlines so the Office can seek legislative sponsors. The Office shall have a continuing obligation to advise the Board of changing legislative circumstances related to initiatives set forth in the federal and state legislative packages over the course of the legislative process. The Board shall have the continuing authority to amend and revise the federal and state legislative packages by resolution to add, revise or remove legislative policy directions.
