GUIDES

CKH.Guide - A Faster Way to Read the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act

Stop scrolling through PDFs. Search all of CKH on one page with cross-linked sections, copyable deep links, and instant navigation. Free and built for everyday LAFCO work.

If you've ever lost time scrolling through PDFs to find the right CKH section, www.ckh.guide is for you.

What's Inside (and Why It's Faster)

  • All of CKH on one page with an instant table of contents and full-text search. No more jumping between PDF pages or waiting for documents to load.

  • Cross-linked sections so you can jump between related provisions. For example, application intake in Gov. Code §56658 links right to application contents (§56652) and the resolution of application (§56654). Hit your browser's Back button and you're right where you were.

  • Copyable deep links to drop into staff reports, notices, and emails to keep your team on the same page. Share specific sections with colleagues or commissioners without having to describe which PDF page to find.

  • Free, fast, and public - built for everyday LAFCO work. No registration, no paywall, no tracking. Just the CKH Act when you need it.

How CKH.Guide Complements CivicBound

www.ckh.guide is a lightweight reference companion to CivicBound, our LAFCO-focused workflow system. While CKH.Guide helps you quickly look up statutory requirements, CivicBound helps your team meet those requirements through:

  • Automated deadline tracking based on CKH Act timelines

  • Notice generation that implements Gov. Code §56157 requirements

  • Workflow guidance through application review, hearings, and protest proceedings

  • Document management and audit trails for compliance

Try It Today

Visit www.ckh.guide and see how much faster you can navigate the CKH Act. Share it with your staff and commissioners. We built it because we needed it - and we think you will too.
