The National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association (NLBMDA) has released its 2021 National Policy Agenda.
The comprehensive advocacy agenda for the year outlines important policy positions for the lumber and building material industry that will boost the housing and construction industry and support continued job creation across the U.S. economy, the NLBMDA said.
"After an historic election and time of uncertainty, Congress must return to advancing pro-growth policies on behalf of the American people," said Jonathan Paine, president and CEO of NLBMDA. "LBM dealers are vital to the residential and commercial housing sector and a thriving economy. This agenda will guide policymakers to support policies that ensure laws and regulations are reasonable and cost effective, and make sure dealers are able to continue to be a key driver in the nation’s economic growth for 2021 and in years to come."
The 2021 NLBMDA National Policy Agenda is divided into nine different policy areas:
- Housing & Construction;
- Tax & Economic Policy;
- Legal Reform & Consumer Protection;
- Workforce Policy;
- Environment, Health & Safety;
- Product Supply & Trade;
