The Chamber is proud to sponsor a state bill authored by Senator Hueso which would establish a California trade office in Mexico City. Given the uncertainty at the federal level regarding the United States’ trading partnership with Mexico, it is vital that California and Mexico maintain open and ongoing discussions about economic opportunities. Through this effort, we can reassure both our civic and business leaders that we value robust trade and open dialogue with each other. By opening a trade and investment office in the commercial and political capital of Mexico, SB 357 would strengthen the California and Mexico economies and contribute to the prosperity of both of the American and Mexican people.

The bill has cleared its first hurdle in the legislative process receiving unanimous approval in the Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee on April 24.
