California Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jennifer Barrera issued a statement following the Governor’s signature on SB 253 (Wiener, D-San Francisco) and SB 261 (Stern, D-Canoga Park).

“We are disappointed that SB 253 and SB 261 were signed today. SB 253 and SB 261 are major changes in climate policy and will add considerable obligations on affected businesses,” Barrera stated.

She added, “We look forward to working with the Governor’s office on SB 253 clean-up legislation that will address some of the major concerns of our members, particularly the impact on small business. The tools developed to meet the goals of SB 253 must be cost-effective and useful.”
