Assemblymember Tom Daly on the Governor Signing Assembly Legislation to Fix Backlog of Business Filings

Details

Created on Friday, 03 May 2013 16:09

SACRAMENTO – In this week’s Democratic radio address, Assemblymember Tom Daly (D-Anaheim), Chair of the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on State Administration, discusses the importance of Gov. Jerry Brown signing AB 113 into law. The legislation, co-authored by Daly, was created to tackle the 122,000 backlogged business filings waiting to be processed at the Secretary of State’s office. It will also drastically cut the processing time of business filings from about 60 days to five business days. This paperwork establishes the legal identity of businesses, so new business owners cannot hire employees, sell to customers or sign contracts until their paperwork has been processed by the Secretary of State’s Office. AB 113 started in the Assembly six weeks ago and received bipartisan support from Californians up and down the state.

This week's radio address is 2:10.
