The businesses represented by BizFed members perform a significant amount of contract work with major utilities in California. We take pride in our work and in our relationship with our utility partners.
AB 853 has the potential to eliminate thousands of California jobs by creating a new regulatory approval process a utility would have to go through to continue to contract with this workforce.
Call LA County State Senators with this message:
"As a BizFed member and a member of with [employees/members] who work with major utilities in California, I'm calling to voice my strong opposition of AB 853. The bill, among other things: compromises reliability, safety and the security it claims to protect; compromises regulatory compliance and security- further discouraging the use of contractors; jeopardizes utility supplier diversity. I urge you to oppose AB 853."
