Engage in ABI’s Public Policy Process by Attending a Regional Meeting

It’s mid-April, which means the 2025 legislative session is likely just weeks from concluding. It’s been a very busy year, with over 2,200 bills introduced. Lawmakers are currently focused on finalizing the Fiscal Year 2026 budget, negotiating tax proposals, and addressing remaining policy items. ABI is well-positioned for a strong finish, as key proposals related to our priorities—Taxes, Workforce, and Regulatory Reform—continue to advance.

ABI staff doesn’t pause once the legislature adjourns. We immediately begin preparing for the next session, launching our public policy process for the year ahead.

In May and at the annual Taking Care of Business Conference in June, we will host regional meetings. These meetings provide a valuable opportunity to review the legislative session’s impact on the business community and share your insights on priorities for the year ahead.

We welcome not only ABI members but also community leaders, including city council members, county supervisors, and others who want to share their perspectives on business issues. In the coming weeks, we will announce the locations and times for these meetings. Be sure to check ABI’s weekly newsletter for details—you won’t want to miss this valuable opportunity. Please contact JD Davis (jddavis@iowaabi.org) or Brad Hartkopf (bhartkopf@iowaabi.org) if you have any questions. ABI
