(California Chamber of Commerce) The California Chamber of Commerce has released a report of California legislators’ floor votes for the first year of the 2009-10 legislative session, focusing on priority bills to the state’s business community.
This is the 34th vote record the CalChamber has compiled. The CalChamber publishes this report in response to numerous requests by member firms and local chambers of commerce that would like a gauge by which to measure their legislator’s performance.
To help readers assess legislators’ vote records, the charts group bills in six areas: economic development, employment law, environmental regulation, health care, legal and taxation.
Most bills in this report cover major business issues that are of great concern to both small and large companies. This vote record covers 13 votes in the Senate and 13 votes in the Assembly.
The CalChamber recognizes that there are many bills supported or opposed by business that are not included in this vote record and analysis.
