Please submit your Questions for Congressman Adam Schiff here:   https://www.stnc.org/agenda-request.php

Congressman Adam Schiff represents California's 28th Congressional District. In his 10th term in the House of Representatives, Schiff currently serves as the Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which oversees the nation’s intelligence agencies. Schiff is on a leave of absence from the House Appropriations Committee, where he remains an ex officio member.

Schiff is focused on ending the COVID-19 pandemic by expanding testing and tracing, developing treatments and vaccines, encouraging the use of masks and social distancing, and being guided by science. He is also fighting for economic help for families, workers, and small business, and for renters, homeowners, and the homeless, until we get through this pandemic. And he is devoted to building our country back better, with universal healthcare, investing in green technology, and an economy that works for everyone. 

Eligibility criteria:
1.       The small business must have employed 100 or fewer employees as of December 2019 (this figure is for all employees, including part-time employees);
2.       The small business has experienced a 50% decrease in gross receipts in the second quarter of 2020 (April 2020 through June 2020) compared to the second quarter of 2019 (April 2019 through June 2019);
3.       The small business had a net increase in employment between July 2020 through November 2020, compared to the prior quarter (April 2020 through June 2020); and
4.       The small business applied for a tax credit registration between December 1, 2020, and January 15, 2021, with the California Department of Tax & Fee Administration.

The proposed ordinance would complement current provisions in the Zoning Code that provide relief and flexibility to respond and recover from a local emergency. The proposed relief would extend the time limits for the utilization and expiration of conditional use approvals, outlines alternative parking calculation for changes of use in Commercial Zones, and would suspend certain valet and off-site parking requirements.

Los Angeles City Planning Commission (CPC) will consider the proposed Local Emergency Code Amendment Ordinance, which creates a mechanism for the City Council and Mayor to enact temporary regulatory relief from certain Zoning Code provisions related to time limitations and automobile parking provisions. 

Initiative will help local small businesses recover from the pandemic by expanding their e-commerce capabilities and growing their online presence. The project will be overseen by the Mayor’s newly appointed 2021 Entrepreneur-in-Residence

The State has issued a new order that will go into place on Saturday November 21st at 10pm and applies to LA County.

Californians in affected counties are asked to stay home except for essential activities between 10pm and 5am.
