Environment: Alert - November 6, 2009

Although California continues to lead the nation on developing regulations to address greenhouse gas emissions, especially with respect to land use planning decisions, two recent regulatory developments involving the Regional Targets Advisory Committee (RTAC) and California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) demonstrate the challenges of providing clear advice on how, as a practical matter, this should be done. This alert examines the RTAC and CNRA matters in detail, and explains how they are likely to further influence the manner in which climate change considerations are taken into account as part of the land use planning and environmental review process.

Hospitality Industry: Changes to Gift Card Laws May Impact Hotel Gift Card Programs Alert - November 4, 2009

As hotels seek to expand their customer bases during these difficult economic times, one potential source of income and customers has been the rather prolific growth in gift card sales. Everyone is getting into the gift card game – restaurants, retailers, hotel companies, gas stations and more. Sales in 2008 alone totaled approximately $90 billion. For hotel companies, when someone purchases or gives a hotel gift card, it creates an opportunity to attract a new or returning customer to spend money at a hotel. However, implementing these programs requires careful consideration of both state and federal laws – which are complicated, sometimes inconsistent but necessary to understand in order to avoid fines and penalties for improperly designed programs.
