The committee also hosts four (4) Legislative Day events that highlight legislation from Federal, State & local governments as well as community updates from the IID, CalTrans, Imperial County Board of Supervisors & Lithium Valley. If there is legislation that potentially affects your business, please feel free to reach out via email.
