Registration is Now Open for Legislative Visit Day!

Legislative Visit Day provides ACEC California members with a great opportunity to talk directly with their state legislators. We will kick-off the activities with an issues breakfast at 7:30 AM, followed by legislative office visits, a policy luncheon and more Capitol visits after lunch. We will end the day with a reception honoring legislators, state officials and staff from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. April 5th is our chance to educate new policy makers on the issues most important to the engineering and land surveying communities, and we need you to help strengthen the relationships important to our future successes. Our principal focus will be Duty to Defend Reform.

ACEC California will also have a Board of Directors meeting the following day, April 6th. To register for the event, click here.

Call to Action – Senate Bill 885

ACEC California’s legislative advocacy team fights hard on your behalf in Sacramento but we need your help. As you know, we are proudly sponsoring Senate Bill 885, a bill that prohibits contracts that require state licensed design professionals, including engineers, land surveyors, architects, and landscape architects, to defend claims made against other persons or entities involved in construction projects. We are now asking that your firm go on record as supporting this effort, thus contributing to a better business environment for engineers and land surveyors. Here is a link to a sample support letter. Please fill in the highlighted area before you put it on your firm’s letterhead and PDF the letter to Kelly Garman, Director of Government Affairs at kgarman@acec-ca.org for delivery.

Please have your letters submitted by April 1st in order for your firm to be listed on the committee analysis.
