Lessons from this issue of Policy Pulse
Win: SB 789, the vacancy tax bill, is dead—thanks to your help.
Warning: AB 380, a harmful rent control bill, heads to the Senate.
Next Step: We’re backing AB 698 to require impact studies before new transfer taxes. We’re also backing SB 630 and AB 1138—film tax credit bills that help keep entertainment jobs and investment here in California.
Policy Highlight: Our BOMA/GLA advocacy team is doing outreach to LA City Councilmembers on Councilmember Raman’s self-certification motion, which would let licensed architects and engineers self-certify that their projects are up to code. This would help clear the backlog of residential projects and speed up commercial approvals.
Regional & Committee Updates: Recent ICE activity, protests, and street closures show why it’s crucial to be ready for emergencies. Now’s the time to make sure your team is prepared to respond quickly and confidently.
Join BOMA/GLA for two events with LAPD and safety experts to help you get your building emergency-ready.
Register now for our upcoming virtual Security and Emergency Preparedness Policy Briefing, and don’t miss our in-person seminar, “Active Shooter Preparedness: Recognizing and Responding to Threats.”
