Senate Bill 827: Training Requirements

In summary, Senate Bill 827 requires Yorba Linda Water District Board Members and department heads to complete state-mandated fiscal and financial training in addition to ethics training. These trainings must be renewed every two years to maintain compliance with state requirements.

The law also requires special districts to maintain training records and make them available to the public.

To obtain copies of applicable training records, please submit a request in the District’s records portal.
