“Senator Florez will take up SB 70 on Monday, April 9 in Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee at 1:30 PM in Room 3191. There are 13 bills on the agenda and given Senator Florez’s scheduled committee hearing at 2:00 PM on the same date, there is a good chance that he could be heard first.

There are eight members on the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee: Mark Ridley-Thomas (D-Los Angeles, Chair), Sam Aanestad (R- Nevada City, Vice Chair), Ellen Corbett (D-Hayward/East Bay), Jeff Denham (R-Merced), Tom Harman (R-Orange), Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto), Leland Yee (D-San Francisco), and Senator Florez. SB 70 will need five (5) votes to pass Senate Business and Professions.

Is there a chance where some of your business associates in the biodiesel industry can draft letters of support for SB 70 and send them to the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee? If the committee receives letters of support, they will add their support positions to the list of supporters in the bill analysis. If they can send the letters to the committee by Thursday, that would be great!”

Cheers,
Rob
