The 5th Wheel
CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update

The legislature reconvened last week from summer recess and Assembly Bill (AB) 5 continues to move through the Senate. A final decision on whether the bill becomes a law will be made by September 13th. If you haven't already contacted your Senator regarding AB 5, it is imperative that they hear from you NOW! Contacting your senator is easy. Simply click on the link below, enter your information, and send your message.

Contact Your Senator

If you use owner operators or know owner operators, please forward this message and link to them. It is vital for Senators to hear from their constituents on AB 5, so they can know how the bill will impact the trucking industry and Owner Operators in their district. 

For questions, contact Matt Roman at mroman@caltrux.org or (916) 798-0417.
