SUMMARY:Webinar | Formal Session Wrap Up: Priorities Passed and Next Steps
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join MAPC’s Government Affairs Team for a legislative session wrap up webinar.\nThe Team will discuss the Affordable Homes Act\, which Governor Healey signed into law\, and the Economic Development and Energy Siting bills\, which didn’t quite make it across the finish line before the end of the formal session. \nHouse and Senate leadership have both discussed the possibility of pursuing certain pieces of these remaining priorities in informal sessions\, as well as reconvening in a special session to pass the Economic Development Bond Bill and other pieces of legislation\, that require roll call votes. As a result\, the legislature’s work\, and that of MAPC’s Government Affairs Team\, is likely to continue through what is typically their fall recess. \nJoin the Government Affairs Team to learn more about MAPC’s victories in the 2023-2024 legislative session\, where other policies landed\, and how you can help to get priority bills back on the move before 2025. \nRegister to Join Us for this Webinar
