The task force agreed that this nuanced policy would allow ASA staff to work with the administration and Congress to tailor the proposed tariffs to minimize the impact on the construction industry by, for example, exempting certain countries and/or including fabricated steel. The ASA Board approved the task force recommendation on the same day.
The Task Force on Government Advocacy then focused its discussion on how ASA can help its chapters and other individuals and groups advocating for construction subcontractors to evaluate and improve the mechanics lien and payment bond laws in their states.The task force reviewed and approved two legislative questionnaires that will help with this process. ASA then published the documents.
