EDH CHAMBER INFLUENCES LEGISLATION |
|
The El Dorado Hills Chamber advocates on the behalf of our business community for fair access to commerce. |
|
Introduced by Senator Dahle |
Problem: Limited full liquor licenses issued from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) in El Dorado County deters commerce
Solution: Senate Bill 1452
Active Bill - Pending Referral 30 days from Introduction on 2.18.22:
23826.16. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, in the County of El Dorado, the department may issue no more than a total of 10 additional new original on-sale general licenses for bona fide public eating places, public premises, or both.

Headlines:
Housing activity is cooling off. While average sales home prices ticked higher, activity has slowed down meaningfully. 78% of the homes sold were above the $750k+ level.
Employment numbers increased, TOT was virtually flat, and building permit valuations jumped substantially from the previous quarter thanks to a commercial building permit.
