The Naperville City Council voted Tuesday night to repeal the new Special Event and Cultural Amenities (SECA) reporting requirement.

Earlier this week, the Chamber’s Legislative Committee and board of directors unanimously agreed to act on the behalf of the 130 nonprofit organizations represented by the Chamber that would have been unnecessarily burdened with the new SECA reporting requirement. At the request of the Legislative Committee and board of directors John Schmitt, Chamber president & CEO, took the lead and wrote a letter to the City Council, urging them to repeal the ordinance immediately.

The City Council voted 5-4 to repeal the legislation. The Chamber’s swift action was a success.

This success is a shining reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together to act as the unified voice of the business community.

Read the Chamber's letter.
