Recent News

May 13, 2011 - Monthly Meeting Report

Robbie Broedow representative from Senator Dutton’s office provided information on SB 653, if passed the bill will change California’s tax structure. The senate bill, proposed by Democratic Senator Darrell Steinberg, will give new taxing authority to local cities, counties and school districts. AB 998, proposed by Republican Assemblyman Mike Morrell, provides that no vote may be taken in either house of the Legislature on the Budget Bill or other bills providing for the appropriations related to the Budge Bill, as defined in our California Constitution, until such bills have been made available to the public for three days in electronic form. SB 446, proposed by Republican Senator Dutton and Coauthored by Democratic Senator Negrete McLeod will enact legislation to establish the Ontario International Airport Authority. This will require the transfer and complete control to Ontario Airport from the City of Los Angeles Airport Authority. SB 724, proposed by Republican Senator Dutton, helps streamline the regulatory process. For detailed information on Senate or Assembly bills refer to: http://www.iecla.org/news.aspor for other Senate of Assembly bills refer to: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/bilinfo.html The IECLA was unable to take a position due to absence of a quorum.
These are four more of the many Senate and Assembly Bills being considered for votes in Sacramento. We encourage you to stay informed bills can significantly impact your business. In addition, many important issues will be coming to California voters in June’s special elections. Write you representatives tell them how you want them to vote. Once again refer to the IECLA’s website under Current News to view the proper format on writing Effective Lobby Letters. A big thanks to Jeff Fuller for keeping our website current.
