MMA Policy Agenda

We are halfway through the 2011/2012 legislative session and, despite substantial progress on MMA’s 2011 Legislative & Regulatory Agenda, the work is not yet complete. There are a number of important issues that MMA’s advocacy team will be diligently working on this year, starting with our top priority — outlined in the 2012 Legislative & Regulatory Priorities.
