CAL CHAMBER CONFERENCE CALL RECAP FOR JUNE 3, 2010


OPPOSED

AB 2230 (Calderon)
Would stigmatize California employers who take advantage of investment incentives by making private taxpayer information for the 100 largest publicly traded corporations in the state available on the Franchise Tax Board’s (FTB) website. (Bill was pulled)

AB 1881 (Monning)
