Federal Policy Committee

Mission Statement

Biocom California’s Federal Committee addresses legislative issues faced by the life science community of California and serves as a resource for all federal policy-related matters. The committee weighs in on legislative proposals affecting the industry, recommends official positions, shares insight on advocacy matters, and participates in policy events.

Committee Overview

Federal Developments

Committee members remain at the forefront of new federal developments through regular updates from Biocom California staff on legislation, Congressional hearings, and administrative orders.

Oversee Federal Policy Activities

Committee members oversee all of Biocom California’s federal policy activities, including determining priorities, reviewing and discussing legislation, adopting positions on bills, strategizing on advocacy, and advising on communication and education initiatives.
