CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
Last week, the California State Legislature completed a deadline called the House of Origin Deadline. This deadline requires a piece of legislation to pass the house it begins in (House or Senate), in order for the bill to move forward in the legislative process. House of Origin is one of the biggest tests in the legislative process and provides one of the best opportunities to see if a bill is viable enough to be signed into law. Two noteworthy bills that CTA has been actively engaged on that passed their House of Origin are: Assembly Bill (AB) 5 and Senate Bill (SB) 210.
Recently, a CTA member whose company participates in the DMV Employer Testing Program (ETP) made us aware of the extreme delays some of their drivers were facing when trying to get their motor vehicle records (MVRs) updated. CTA has been engaged with the DMV since becoming aware of the delays and has been working with the Department on getting the MVRs updated. Because of CTA’s engagement on the issue, DMV has provided additional resources to the division that handles the ETP to assist with expediting the backlog of driver MVRs. Let us know if your company participates in the DMV’s ETP and has been dealing with driver MVR delays. CTA can help! For more information, contact Eric Sauer at esauer@caltrux.org.
