NPMA Joins the National Caucus of Black State Legislators (NBCSL) - Corporate Roundtable

NPMA’s Public Policy Committee voted last week to recommend NPMA join the National Caucus of Black State Legislators (NBCSL), which was subsequently approved by NPMA Board of Directors. The NBCSL maintains a bank of model legislation which once approved annually, will allow their over 7,000 state policymakers to pull down these pre-drafted pieces of legislation and replicate around the country. Members of the Corporate Roundtable (which NPMA has just joined) have the ability to submit model legislation for consideration. NPMA is excited to submit public health legislation that would help move the industry forward and looks forward to working with several NBCSL members as sponsors. NPMA plans on engaging in other ways as well by building relationships with NBCSL members and helping them understand how the industry protects America’s food, health, and property. While the NBCSL engages on a variety of issues, NPMA plans on focusing only on issues important to our industry and continuing to build relationships on both sides of the aisle across the country.
