The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce announced Monday that they would be hosting a virtual Sacramento legislative update, “Bills, Ballots and Business'” next week, officials said. 

Chief lobbyist for CalChamber, Jennifer Barrera, is expected to give an update on the 2020 Job Killer Bills, Impact California, November ballot measures, including App-Based Drivers and Split Roll Impact California and other pertinent business issues during a virtual meeting on June 29 2020, according to Chamber officials.

“We’re pleased to be bringing our business community a legislative update given the current business climate and for what lies ahead during the November 2020 election,” said Nancy Starczyk, chair of the SCV Chamber board. “The pandemic had every sector of the business community trying to figure out their own next step that many of us didn’t have the time to follow what was going on in Sacramento so we are excited to get a full download of where we are and what’s to come.”

During the Chamber’s 2019 Sacramento Advocacy Day, members of the business community had met with CalChamber to receive a similar update, according to officials. 

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, travel and in-person meetings have come to a halt, according to officials. 

However, the legislature is still moving forward, and the Chamber must still be at the forefront of advocating for a healthier business climate. 

“It’s more important than ever for our business community to be fully informed of all the November ballot measures and their consequences,” said Ivan Volschenk, managing partner for Evolve Business Strategies, which manages the SCV Chamber. “We are the voice of business in the Santa Clarita Valley and advocacy is one of the Chamber’s important duties to its members. We will continue to provide the vital information to our community and fight for a business-friendly environment in California.”

The Chamber is working alongside CalChamber to help make California a better place to live, work and do business. 

“We advocate to make sure lawmakers hear about the impact of proposals on our businesses and economy,” officials said. 

Registration is currently open for the virtual event and can be found on the Chamber’s website, it is currently free for active members and $10 for non-members.
