In addition to being the leading technology industry lobbying organization in Washington D.C., AeA also has a presence across the country through its 18 council offices. No other technology trade association has this reach to get you involved in issues at the local level, where many policy issues are emerging today. AeA's State Policy Action Network (SPAN) programs across the country had direct top and bottom line impact for U.S. technology companies. What Has SPAN Done For You Lately Arizona: Got business property taxes cut by tens of millions of dollars by reducing the business property tax assessment ratio from 25% down to 20%. California: Defeated Proposal Undermining Intellectual Property Protections Oregon: Obtained legislative funding for continued improvements in engineering programs at state universities, increased state support for nanotech research, and lowered the corporate tax burden for most AeA member companies. Washington: Blocked a software development tax that will save software companies in the City of Seattle over $2 million this year Florida: Secured $235 million for the "Bright Future" scholarship program Texas: Secured $295 million in funding for the Governor’s Texas Enterprise Fund for economic development; Passed licensing measure for industry engineers that saves technology firms up to $1 million per year, per engineer in liability New York: Defeated anti-competitive NYC Software Procurement Proposal that would have resulted in millions in lost software contracts This year, more onerous state legislative and regulatory proposals were introduced on more issues and in more states than ever before, exposing technology companies to cost increases, onerous regulatory requirements and legal liability expansions.
