Title / 118TH Congress First Session
The Center for Legislative Accountability (CLA), an initiative of the CPAC Foundation, works to promote government transparency while carrying on the over 50-year mission of holding lawmakers accountable through the publishing of their voting records.
SB 956
Increasing Government Intervention in the Marketplace with New Business Improvement Districts.
2023 - Virginia Senate
Vote Description
This bill allows localities to set up business improvement districts. These districts have the power to charge fees to businesses, the likes of which they may then use for business promotion and recruitment activities. CPAC opposes increasing fees on businesses, believes that it is not the job of the government to promote entities within the private sector, and opposed this bill. The House passed this bill on February 20, 2023 by a vote of 38-2 and the bill later became law.
