NABL has released 8 issue briefs to supplement the April 9 letter we sent to Congress and the Treasury asking that they enact certain legislative and regulatory proposals to assist in getting our nation through these uncertain times. The briefings were sent to all offices on Capitol Hill.
We created these briefings, in part, because NABL’s Board of Directors did not take its annual trip to Washington, DC this year due to travel restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Had they been able to travel, they would have requested meetings with many offices on Capitol Hill to discuss these and other issues. In lieu of those in-person meetings, we prepared these short informational briefings to cover some of the issues we see affecting the municipal bond market.
The briefings are available on the NABL U Now page, here. They are generally less than 10 minutes and are accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation. They are also free and accessible by anyone who visits our website.
Briefings Topics Include:
- Provide for a New Direct-Pay Taxable Bond
- Restore Advance Refundings
- Stimulate Demand by Financial Institutions
- Facilitate the Recovery of Housing and Continuing Care Facilities
- Facilitate Economic Recovery by Raising Volume Cap
- Facilitate Federal Guarantees
- Facilitate Partnerships with Business for Recovery
- Facilitate Access to Working Capital
Please Share with your Member of Congress: We encourage all NABL members to share these briefings and our April 9 letter with your member of Congress and their staff.
