There may be less than two weeks left in 2019, but the CRA team is busier than ever preparing for the start of the second year of the 2019-2020 legislative session. This year was jam-packed with legislative and regulatory work and 2020 is expected to be even more hectic with the primary and general elections in addition to a series of special elections.
Since joining CRA as President and Chief Executive Officer at the start of 2019, we have made significant progress streamlining member communications, building the retail brand in California (including the launch of our new logo and website earlier this year) and working with state legislators to win significant amendments to legislation that could negatively impact retailers both large and small who do business in California.
