URGENT APPEAL to NAIOP SoCal Members

URGENT APPEAL to NAIOP SoCal Members and Allies

Send AB 98 Veto Request Letter to Governor Newsom

Dear NAIOP SoCal Member,

On Saturday, August 31, 2024 – in the final minutes on the last day of the state legislative session – lawmakers narrowly and controversially passed Assembly Bill 98 in both legislative chambers. AB 98 is currently at the Governor’s desk.

This appeal is intended to galvanize action among NAIOP SoCal Members and allies to write a letter to Governor Newsom requesting a veto of AB 98. Please refer to the sample letter, which you should personalize and reflect on how the bill will impact your company. We encourage our Members and the entire commercial real estate industry to urge the Governor to veto the bill. Please follow the suggested guidelines when writing a letter to the Governor. Let’s keep up the pressure together!

Please send a copy of your AB 98 veto request letter to NAIOP SoCal at: mtoumajan@naiopsocal.org.

Respectfully,

Timothy Jemal
CEO
NAIOP SoCal
