Committee Charge
Represents the Judicial Council’s position with other agencies and entities, such as the Legislature, the Governor’s Office, the State Bar of California, local government, local bar associations, and other court-related professional associations; reviews and makes recommendations on proposals for Judicial Council–sponsored legislation; reviews pending bills, determines positions consistent with the council’s previous policy decisions, and oversees advocacy for those positions.

Effective April 15, 2020, the Judicial Council amended California Rules of Court, rules 10.12, 10.16, and 10.34, by circulating order 20-01, to change the name of the committee from the Policy Coordination and Liaison Committee to the Legislation Committee. The committee’s responsibilities remain the same. Archival searches for records prior to the name change should include the former committee name and/or PCLC acronym.
