NLBMDA: NLBMDA Legislative Conference Highlights

CNN Contributor Margaret Hoover

NLBMDA is working with House and Senate lawmakers to reintroduce the Lead Exposure Reduction Amendments Act, which would restore the opt-out provision for homeowners without a young child or pregnant women present to decide whether to require RRP compliance, and suspend the rule for post-1960 homes without a pregnant woman or small child living there if EPA cannot approve a test kit that meets the regulation’s requirements.

We are also continuing our push for online sales tax fairness. NLBMDA supports legislation that levels the playing field between community-based retailers, such as lumberyards, and merchants that sell exclusively online, by requiring online retailers to collect sales taxes in states where they lack a physical presence.

The Marketplace Fairness Act (S. 698), which was passed with bipartisan support in the Senate two years ago, remains the best option for reform. In a promising sign for the bill, 10 Senate cosponsors were added immediately after NLBMDA’s visits on Capitol Hill.

The day on Capitol Hill was capped off with a congressional reception that included a visit from Rep. David Loebsack (D-IA), who has been a co-sponsor of the Lead Exposure Reduction Amendments Act the previous two congresses. We appreciate all the NLBMDA members who helped make the event a success and advance issues of importance to the lumber and building material industry.
