Heard From the Hill

Congress is closing in on another COVID-19 stimulus bill in late July, and NPMA wanted to take advantage of the weeks leading up the bill formation. We created a campaign during June to focus on one COVID related bill every week; NPMA CEO Dominique Stumpf sent a letter to Congressional leadership, NPMA tweeted, and members were encouraged to send messages via Voter Voice. Our results were great!


Supporting Tax Credits for the industry in The AG CHAIN Act: 345 messages


Supporting Disinfectant Tax Credits in The CLEAN START Act: 82 messages


Opposing the removal of Small Business Exemptions in The HEROES Act: 274 messages


NPMA members sent 701 messages to Congress in June on these three issues, highlighting the important of all in the next COVID-19 bill. Discussions are happening now, and the timeframe floating around the hill is between the 20th of July and the end of the month. It will likely be at the later end of that time frame. The Republicans have indicated the bill will be around 1 trillion, but Democrats have said that is too low. Items being floated include additional direct payments, liability, extension of moratorium on evictions, unemployment insurance and a host of other items. NPMA will continue to push for these three as well as a bill extending PPP eligibility to 501c6 organizations.

Rodenticides have been under heavy scrutiny in recent years, with high profile media reports implicating rodenticides in the poisoning of wildlife in California and other locations. In response, researchers have begun investigating different aspects of rodenticide use to better understand how wildlife are becoming exposed. Learn about the latest findings, what they mean for the industry, and what efforts every PMP should make to protect future rodenticide use in the U.S.
