ACTION ALERT: Oppose crippling commercial lease mandates

We're mobilizing business leaders to speak up early and energetically on another high-stakes proposal.

CLICK HERE TO TAKE ACTION

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is poised to take up an ordinance tomorrow that would impose crippling commercial lease mandates. The provisions are similar to those introduced in SB 1103 (Menjivar), which BizFed leaders have taken coordinated action to oppose. We're now calling on you to step up with us in united opposition to Los Angeles County's proposed ordinance. Its potential consequences for small business owners, local job growth, and the health of the regional economy cannot be overstated. Here's how the ordinance directly affects commercial property owners.

• It imposes mandatory relocation expenses to be paid for by property owners.
• It fails to recognize the distinction between commercial and residential real estate dynamics.
• It empowers the county to involve itself in business-to-business contractual agreements to favor one party.
• It goes even further than BizFed-opposed SB 1103 by requiring a model lease.

HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO

1. You can speak up remotely on this issue. We're urging all members to call into the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting tomorrow, July 9 beginning at 9:30 a.m. to voice opposition to Agenda Item #2. It's important to note that tomorrow's scheduled action is the board's first reading of this motion. Expect additional Action Alerts from our advocacy team as the proposal winds it way through county processes. Speaking up early and often will ensure business voices are heard.
