The group welcomed guest speaker Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, who talked about about furthering the relationship between the county and the construction industry as a whole. A recap was given of this year’s AGC-TBB Legislative Day, including the priority bills for our industry, all those that AGC-TBB is watching closely (2023 AGC-TBB Legislative Day - bill list + one-pagers, AGC-TBB tracked bills thru March 5 2023, Bills tracked 1-3 as of March 12, Bills tracked 4 + THC as of March 12 ) and the impact our members have had on current legislation. The group also discussed the importance of the PAC (Political Action Committee), which supports the election campaigns of pro-construction candidates.
