- Recommended Position: Oppose
- A companion bill to AB 6 (Friedman), legislation that BizFed has already considered and stated its opposition. These two pieces of legislation jeopardize transportation improvement projects across Los Angeles.
- May affect the allocation of billions of dollars in state transportation funding.
- This bureaucratic overlay could slow progress on repairing and improving highways, roads overpasses, and bridges across Southern California. Major highway improvements, from the 15 to the 5 that are already well-along in the planning process could be in jeopardy should these bills move forward.
