Legislative Priorities

The AGC  is the unified voice of the construction industry in East Tennessee, leading advocacy efforts focused on ensuring continued growth in our industry by supporting laws favorable to the construction industry,  business security and the safety of our workforce. 

​AGC of East Tennessee serves as the primary watchdog for legislative issues relative to construction on the local level and partners with our sister association, AGC Tennessee, to monitor and support state legislation that promotes the industry of construction.


LEGISLATIVE AREAS OF FOCUS:
  • Construction Law
  • Energy and Environment
  • Infrastructure
  • Labor & HR
  • Procurement
  • Risk Management
  • Safety & Health
  • Tax
  • Technology
  • Workforce Development

Legislative Priorities:

AGC EAST TENNESSEE WILL SUPPORT
  • Programs and opportunities that increase the quality and quantity of the construction-industry workforce. 
  • Increased funding for public transportation and infrastructure initiatives.
  • Safety initiatives that protect the welfare of our workforce.
  • Rational and reasonable environmental and business regulation reforms.
  • Proposals to increase funding for capital construction.
  • Rational and reasonable prevailing wage reforms.
  • Tax simplification on construction activities.

AGC EAST TENNESSEE WILL OPPOSE
  • Proposals that unreasonably increase business taxes, costs or regulations.
  • Proposals that divert funds from dedicated programs to other unrelated purposes.
  • Public construction procurement methods which are not well vetted or do not have a consensus of support within the affected AGC contractor membership.
  • Environmental proposals that impose unnecessary burdens on contractors which are not practical, or are not economically and technically feasible.
  • Detrimental land-use laws which make development efforts unreasonably difficult or costly.
