Legislation

As business owners, you are involved in the rigors of day-to-day management, there is little time to stay abreast of new and/or changing legislation – or to fully grasp the impact that developing laws can have on your business.  Two lobbyists work on behalf of CDCC Members reviewing and critiquing potential effects of legislation at all levels and alert business owners on impending changes.  We are your voice in developing business-friendly legislation.
