Here are some of the items our team is tracking out of Washington, D.C. this month (visit our Government Affairs page for more information).
In this month’s Washington Wire:
- NAED takes an active role with House Ways and Means Committee tax teams who are working to set the stage for permanently extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJANAED)
- We highlight a recent Supreme Court decision which could make the implementation of harmful regulations more difficult for federal agencies and tell regulators to take a pause.
- OSHA burns businesses with their new proposed Heat Standard while they fight to defend the misguided “walkaround rule” from legal challenges.
- We share resources to help you keep up with new guidance on prevailing wage laws for apprenticeships and offer a fresh political update after an action-packed month in politics that drastically changed the dynamics of the Presidential race.
