The month of May is on fire in terms of wins for SJSV Chamber members.
This bill, one we openly supported, will allow small business owners, many of whom are "mom-and-pop" businesses, a "right to cure" within 120 days any identified non-compliance of the Construction- Related Accessibility Standards Compliance Act or Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), without penalty and without an expensive lawsuit being filed and attorney's fees being owed.
And the Defend Trade Secrets Act, also championed by the SJSV Chamber and aimed at protecting company's intellectual property, was signed into law today.
And in case you hadn't heard yet, we have
a new addition to the SJSV Chamber team! Read all about her below.
Let's continue to make 2016 a dynamic year for business.
