As you may be aware, significant regulatory challenges are unfolding in the South Coast AQMD that threaten the very foundation of our industry. These developments are not restricted to Southern California; they set a concerning precedent for the entire state of California. This regulatory overreach impacts our members, vendors, and clients, with long-lasting ramifications.
Below is a link to a comprehensive article detailing the current situation. It is imperative that we amplify awareness and mobilize our members, especially those in Southern California. I urge you to utilize your communication platforms to galvanize engagement among our members.
A proactive measure is our involvement in a lawsuit against the South Coast AQMD, partnering with Rennai and other industry leaders. The proposed program's high costs, arbitrary deadlines, and mandatory retrofitting pose severe economic challenges, not just for our members and their customers, but will hit California businesses and families on an incredibly large scale. We must rally together to prevent this impending crisis.
While our Legislative Day is valuable, we must maintain persistent dialogue throughout the year to exert meaningful influence.
I invite you to join our Government Affairs Meetings held bi-monthly to discuss these pressing issues. With the looming threats of zero-NOx policies and statewide electrification, the very nature of our trades are being reshaped. Meanwhile, stealth amendments to building codes are already in motion without our input.
Your expertise and involvement are crucial as we navigate these turbulent waters. If there are specific contractors you wish me to engage with, please do not hesitate to connect us. Let’s ensure our members' voices are heard and effectively contribute to our collective advocacy efforts.
Attached is the link to the key article from the Daily News. Please disseminate widely within your networks.
Together, let us stand united and resolute in this pivotal fight to safeguard our industry and the livelihoods it supports.
