Congress Passes COVID Relief Package

On Monday, Congress passed legislation to fund the federal government through September 30, 2021 and to provide long-awaited COVID relief. The $2.3 trillion package included $1.4 trillion in funding for government departments and agencies and $900 billion in COVID relief.Included in this legislation are a number of NRMCA priorities – policies that we have consistently advocated for on behalf of the industry and that are significant policy wins.

You can read the full text of the government funding and COVID relief legislation here and find a summary here. NRMCA has been a vocal advocate for each of the above policies in the COVID legislation. Over the past months, we have advocated directly on behalf of our members to Members of Congress and key congressional staff, both independently and in unison with our allied associations and coalition partners. We have issued multiple grassroots alerts and NRMCA members have sent thousands of letters to Congress.During the past few days, NRMCA has been engaged in last minute communication with Members of Congress and staff, reiterating the importance of these policies and urging bipartisan work on behalf of America’s small businesses and ready mixed concrete industry.
