Legislative Conference
MMUA’s Legislative Conference is one of the municipal utility community’s primary opportunities to inform and influence state lawmakers. This year’s event will occur near the start of the session. This is prime time for getting ahead of the push for final committee action and to lobby for a bonding bill adequate to meet utility infrastructure needs.
The conference will include engaging presentations from a diverse array of industry and legal experts. Topics will cover a variety of local government issues, MMUA’s administrative and legislative priorities, and more.
On Tuesday afternoon, attendees will head to the Hill to meet with their representatives. The MMUA Government Relations team encourages you to start making appointments now to meet with your local Senators and House members. We will cap off the day with a legislative reception at the DoubleTree, providing MMUA members the opportunity for further conversation with lawmakers.
Registration will open in late 2024.
- Municipal utility leaders and staff
- Mayors, city council members, and local utility commissioners
- Others who want to get involved and advocate for public power, municipal gas utilities, and city-owned and operated water and wastewater facilities
