AGC’s Legislative Action Committee convened December 10 to evaluate the association’s legislative and regulatory priorities for the 111th Congress (2009-2010). The committee made recommendations based on priorities that impact the industry, are achievable, and will be considered in the next Congress. The committee also used information provided by a survey of thousands of contractors earlier this fall.
A majority of the discussion focused on the need for Congress to increase the Federal government’s investment in infrastructure to create and sustain jobs. While infrastructure investment will be a major priority, committee members also stressed the need for AGC to advocate for tax, regulatory and legislative policies that promote economic opportunity and not restrict business growth and development.
The next step is approval by AGC’s Executive Board at which time AGC will deliver the priorities to Congress and the new Obama Administration.
