However, please note that the Board of Directors has developed a new policy cou- cerning proposed resolutions that relate to state legislative issues. Any propo$gdgoals which address state legislative issues will be referred to an appropriate Association steering committee and ~hen forwarded to the 1990~91 Legislative Goals Committee, which will be appointed followiug the Annual Conference. The Legislative Goals Committee would then report the issue to the Legislative Goals Conference iu Piuehurst on Decetnber 8-9, 1990, where all counties would have the opportunity to 'vote on it. This policy was developed to allow b6th the steering committees and the Legislative Goals Committee the oppoi-tunity to review prol~osed legislative resolutions prior to their adoption and to incoi'porate them into the overall proposed legislative goals package. It also Will help prevent the' Confusion which results fr6m legislative issues being considered a two different conferences. ;fhus, legislative resolutions will only be considered at the Legislative Goals Conference, not the Annual Conference.
