The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing on how current and proposed rules and regulations are burdening job creation. AGC recently sent a letter in response to Committee Chairman Darrell Issa’s (R-Calif.) request for specific issues AGC believes could stifle job creation.
Republicans have pledged to strongly utilize the Oversight function of Congress to weed out programs and regulatory burdens that do not contribute to the economy or job creation. As many as ten standing Committees will be contributing to this task. The House Rules Committee is sending to the House floor this week a resolution that instructs the major House committees to "inventory and review existing, pending and proposed regulations and orders from agencies of the federal government, particularly with respect to their effect on jobs and economic growth.
AGC will continue working with Congressional leadership to provide real world examples of how to improve job creation and reduce unnecessary and burdensome rules for the construction industry.
