LEGISLATIVE & POLITICAL AFFAIRS
ABC Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter monitors all construction and business related legislation and regulations at both the national and state levels. The Chapter also lobbies on behalf of its position and testifies when appropriate. Local and County governments are monitored by the Chapter's Legislative Committee. ABC's National Office serves as a liaison with the Congress and various federal agencies that are involved with construction issues. ABC National also works to insure that ABC is represented on national industry and government advisory groups. Our chapter seeks a level playing field for everyone in construction to offer purchasers of construction services the best value for their construction dollar.
