Advocacy

The rules shape your store. You should help shape the rules.

LSOAA aims to bring owner experience into the conversations where retail policy is made. These are our priorities, not claims of victories.

Advocacy priorities

Six areas owners keep raising.

01Priority
Licensing fairness
Clear, consistent licensing processes that don't put independent owners at a disadvantage.
02Priority
Responsible delivery rules
Delivery and online sales rules that keep age verification strong and treat independent stores fairly.
03Priority
Fees and compliance
Reasonable compliance costs and rules written in language owners can follow.
04Priority
Independent competitiveness
A fair market where neighborhood stores can compete with large chains.
05Priority
Public safety
Safer stores and communities, from theft prevention to responsible sales.
06Priority
A retailer voice
Owners heard when the rules that shape their stores are written.

LSOAA is not running active lobbying campaigns today. When there is real policy news, it will be posted here with a date and a source.
