Join us for
NRLA-NY’s Lobby Day at the State Capitol on May 15th!

Start your day with an issue briefing and breakfast in the Capitol (Conference Room 901 LOB ) at 8:30 a.m.,
followed by meetings with legislators commencing at 9:30 a.m. Todd Vandervort,
our seasoned lobbyist, alongside NRLA-NY staff, will handle scheduling to
ensure your voice is heard. Our day will conclude with a legislative debrief over lunch at 12:30 p.m. 

We’ll be advocating on key issues including:

• Retail Theft: Support the
  Governor’s robust proposal to bolster enforcement, including allocating
  $25 million to establish a retail theft team within the New York State
  Police.

• Retainage: Support
  amendments to create a distinct definition of substantial completion for
  material men under this law.

• TREES Act: Oppose this
  bill which could disrupt supply chains and burden lumber dealers with
  certifying their products’ non-contribution to deforestation.

• Preventing
  Underage Labor & Prioritizing Workplace Safety: Support
  the Governor’s Child Labor Task Force, recently established in
  response to a concerning rise in child labor violations.

• Workforce
  Development: Support initiatives promoting workforce development programs and
  education.
