DescCalTax has two in-house registered lobbyists. CalTax reviews and analyzes every bill introduced in the California Legislature to determine if legislation has a significant tax policy, fiscal policy, or economic impact on California. CalTax writes letters advocating our position, testifies in committee, and meets with lawmakers, legislative staff and the Governor's administration to discuss our positioning. In addition to supporting and opposing legislation, we also work with legislators who have questions about how legislation may affect the state's taxpayers. We also provide tax information and analysis to the media.Desc
