Presented by the APWA Government Affairs Committee The 117th Congress was sworn into office in early January 2021, and is well underway. Infrastructure has been a ‘hot topic’ for Congress and APWA’s public policy priorities for this session of Congress are all infrastructure related. Come and receive a current update from the APWA Government Affairs team about happenings in Congress related to APWA’s public policy priorities of Surface Transportation Reauthorization, Water Resiliency, and Emergency Management. On September 30, 2021 the current surface transportation law will expire, and so will the National Flood Insurance Program. Further, this year multiple water infrastructure bills have been introduced, and regulatory matters such as the Lead and Copper Rule and Waters of the US are under review, and the potential health impacts of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of concern. Additionally, APWA members and staff have been diligent about increasing the awareness and recognition by lawmakers of public works professionals as first responders and key players in planning, mitigating, and recovering from disaster situations. APWA’s Government Affairs efforts are strong–come hear the latest legislative updates!
