WELCOME OUR NEWEST MEMBER!

GreenPoint Engineering - New Orleans

 

April is always a great month to highlight ACECL's Legislative Committee as it always marks the time of year when the Regular Legislative Session is in full swing. The Legislative Committee actually met early today to review and recommend positions on legislation that will or could impact the business of engineer.

 

Every year the Legislative Committee meets multiple times to discuss legislation ACECL should pursue to enhance the business of engineering and also to review filed legislation that seeks to weaken the business of engineering. 

 

You can access this year's ACECL Bill Tracker summary by clicking on the button below. If there is legislation you believe we should be tracking and/or taking a position on that is not in this document, please let me know so that we can review as a committee and determine if we should take a position.
