The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual ‘Where We Stand’ event unveiling top legislative priorities for the upcoming 2017 legislative “short” session at Hotel Covington Thursday evening.
Each year the NKY Chamber identifies key legislative issues affecting its members, formulate pro-business policy positions and advocate for those positions on behalf of members.
“This is always a great opportunity for business leaders to spend time with members of our delegation and to discuss our legislative priorities,” said Trey Grayson, President/CEO, NKY Chamber.
Its 2017 Where We Stand Kentucky legislative agenda comes directly from members. Northern Kentucky business leaders from a variety of sectors have spent months formulating policy recommendations in advocacy committee meetings.
Subject matter experts presented and discussed the top priorities, which include:
- Labor & Employment Law changes
- Right to Work
- Repeal of Prevailing Wage
- Tax Reform
- Implementation of Outcomes-Based and Equity Funding for NKU
- Medical Review Panels
- Pension Transparency
