Join the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce for a practical and informative Legislative Forum designed to help business owners better understand the policies, legislation, and broader issues shaping California’s business environment.
This year’s forum will take a closer look at the facts surrounding data centers, including their role in the economy, infrastructure, energy use, workforce, and local communities. Attendees will also receive an easy-to-understand overview of key legislation from the 2026 legislative session and what new laws and policy changes could mean for California businesses. CalChamber is currently tracking legislation across areas including energy, infrastructure, employment, taxation, water, regulatory reform, and other issues affecting businesses.
With the November 3, 2026 General Election approaching, the forum will also provide context on the broader policy landscape and key issues businesses may want to follow as we head into 2027. Our goal is simple: to provide credible information, clear explanations, and practical insight without requiring business owners to follow every bill, policy development, or legislative update throughout the year. Whether you are a small business owner, executive, manager, or community leader, this forum will help you better understand the issues shaping California’s business environment and what to watch as we move into 2027.
Data centers are becoming an increasingly important part of conversations around technology, infrastructure, energy, investment, and local communities. Jennings Imel of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce will provide a national perspective on what data centers are, why demand is growing, and the questions surrounding their economic impact, jobs, investment, AI and the digital economy, energy and infrastructure, water use, and community considerations. This conversation will help attendees better understand the facts behind a topic that is generating discussion across California and communities throughout the country.
The legislative session may be over, but the conversation isn’t.
Adam Ruiz will break down key business-related outcomes from the 2026 legislative session, what new laws and policy changes mean for businesses, which issues could return in 2027, and what business owners should be watching over the next 6–12 months. With the November election approaching, the discussion will also provide context on the broader policy environment and how businesses can stay informed and engaged in the legislative process. California’s 2026 General Election is scheduled for November 3, with statewide offices, congressional seats, state legislative seats, and other offices on the ballot.
You don’t have to spend your year following Sacramento, Washington, D.C., or every legislative update to understand the issues that could affect your business. This is an opportunity to hear directly from knowledgeable speakers, get the information in one place, and walk away with a clearer understanding of what is happening beyond Temecula and why it matters to the business community.
