Last week, NPMA staff held discussions with DC public health advocates and organizations regarding drafting and passing a bed bug bill in the DC City Council. Our industry and these groups all agree that every individual deserves to live a life pest-free and that we must enact policies into law that protect public health. Legislation passed in both Connecticut and Colorado will serve as models, as these groups believe they are excellent pieces of legislation. NPMA will draft the legislation and engage in a stakeholder process to ensure that all appropriate entities are heard. We look forward to unveiling the legislation later this year. We will keep members apprised of developments.
