In the real world of construction, ABC's maxim "Get into Politics or Get out of Business" is true. The fact is few businesses or individuals have the time or resources to monitor legislation that directly affects their industry, or the influence to get the attention of their law makers. Nationally ABC has the time, the resources and the means to do just that. At the state level, ABC is the construction industry's front line soldier.
ABC has a long history of success with legislature, having worked hard on such legislation as: Tort Reform, Right-to-Work, and Prevailing Wage Repeal. This benefit alone saves association members hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. Whether actively lobbying the legislature or just keeping abreast of legislation and regulations that affect their business, ABC members are given the tools to take action on legislation and the voice to lobby for change.
