Gov't Relations Corner: Contact Your Legislators On Reappropriations Bill
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
URGENT: The Builders Association is calling on the construction industry for its support of FY2016 (HB2913/SB2024) and FY 2017 (HB6407/SB3255) Capital Reappropriations. The Democratic majorities have not assigned these bills (proposed by the Governor) to committee, meaning that an extreme amount of proposed construction funding will be cut off if we don’t unite as an industry and take action now.
Due to the lack of FY2016 capital reappropriations authority, Capital Development Board (CDB) was forced to issue stop work letters in June ’15 to contractors, architects, and engineers. This halted work on over 200 capital projects in various stages of construction and design, impacting over 500 contractors, designers, and subcontractors, as well as thousands of construction workers and suppliers.
Pre-written letters can be sent through our government relations partner, ICIC, here. If you prefer to write your own letter, you can find your legislator through our website.
