NECA Asks for 2025
NECA’s top legislative priorities for 2025 are aimed at optimizing the business climate for electrical contractors:
- Pass Key Tax Legislation to Support Small Businesses. NECA supports a reconciliation package that strengthens the federal tax code and advances a comprehensive energy strategy. High tax rates and a complex tax code hamper NECA contractors’ competitive standing and hinder their economic growth.
- Enact Policies for Energy Independence: NECA supports a comprehensive energy policy that increases all avenues of domestic production.
- Support Legislation to Invest in our Nation’s Infrastructure: NECA supports any legislation that promotes building and maintaining our nation’s critical infrastructure. This includes expanding access to resources.
Pass Key Tax Legislation to Support Small Businesses
NECA supports a reconciliation package that strengthens the federal tax code and advances a comprehensive energy strategy. High tax rates and a complex tax code hamper NECA contractors’
competitive standing and hinder their economic growth. The time and money NECA contractors spend to comply with the federal government’s complex tax code could be better spent on growing their businesses and creating jobs.
Enact Policies for Energy Independence
NECA supports a comprehensive energy policy that increases all avenues of domestic production, including domestic oil, natural gas exploration, nuclear energy, as well as clean and renewable
energy sources. This includes investing in transmission line infrastructure and smart grid technology, incentivizing clean and renewable energy sources through grants and tax credits, ensuring smart investments in electric vehicle charging stations
and domestic manufacturing, promoting the development of energy storage technologies, and advocating for permitting reform.
Support Legislation to Invest in Our Nation’s Infrastructure
NECA contractors play a crucial role in building, powering and maintaining the nation’s infrastructure. NECA advocates for a sustainable solution to fix the
Highway Trust Fund, increased investment in clean water and wastewater projects, federal investment in AI and data centers, strengthening the energy grid infrastructure, increasing federal investment in nationwide broadband and 5G technology, meaningful
investment in electric vehicle charging stations, and
fully funding the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the CHIPS and Science Act.
