legislation vital to the health and well-being of
the community.

a policy allowing it to endorse business-friendly
candidates who work toward creating jobs, a strong
economy, and support of the many diverse industries
represented in Hollywood.
Influencing Business Legislation

positions on legislation and state and local ballot
measures that impact member businesses and actively
promotes its political positions. Issues include
business tax reform, workers comp insurance reform,
securing funds for transportation projects, and
labor law reform.
A Voice at City Hall
