In a recent column published in appliance DESIGN magazine, AHAM President Joseph McGuire highlights AHAM’s legislative accomplishments at the state level over the past year as it fought hard for its members and worked on a variety of policy issues including Extended Producer Responsibility, energy efficiency and other issues.
Says McGuire, “Companies most often keep their finger on the pulse of Washington, D.C., for insight into legislation and regulation that may be become law and impact their business. While the focus on Washington should remain sharp, companies should not neglect the potential of state agencies and legislatures to quickly enact laws, many times without the benefit of technical justification. AHAM has amped up its presence in the states to counter unproductive and harmful state legislation that impacts the home appliance industry and to encourage measures which would promote and provide consumer rebates, tax credits and holidays for the purchase of efficient products.”
