NECA Asks for 2025

NECA’s top legislative priorities for 2025 are aimed at optimizing the business climate for electrical contractors:

Support a reconciliation package that strengthens the federal tax code and advances a comprehensive energy strategy—one that includes permitting reform and expands all avenues of domestic production.

• Securing Prosperity Through Tax Reform. While addressing expiration of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Congress must make permanent the pass-through deduction for S-Corporations, repeal the estate tax, and expand research & development expensing so businesses of all sizes can immediately deduct the cost of their U.S.-based investments.
• Greenlight Growth with Permitting Reform. The current National Environmental Policy Act and Clean Water Act processes take an average of approximately seven years to receive approval. Congress should enact permitting reform measures that would allow projects to come online faster.
• Investing in Our Nation’s Infrastructure. Congress should build on the successes over the past few years and continue to invest in our nation's infrastructure by fully funding the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the CHIPS and Science Act and work towards enacting a robust Highway & Transit Reauthorization bill.
