The most common legislative threat to building designers comes from someone other than you think. [Monday Minute]

November 28, 2022 edition of the AIBD’s Monday Minute weekly newsletter.

Announcements

The most common legislative threat to building designers comes from someone other than you think.

AIBD monitors the bills submitted on a state-by-state basis.

In some states, the prefiling of the bills just closed.

This means we’ll soon be able to see what our state representatives, senators, and, more importantly, the lobbyists have in mind this year.

Stopping proposed legislation is like fighting a disease.

Here’s what AIBD is doing to protect your rights

Custom Finishes for Fine Homes

Siding & Trim, Custom Patterns, Ceiling Boards and Shiplap.
