As the Legislature wraps up its final days of the 2024 session, MTA’s government relations team shares the impact of the 2024 election results, the latest on Lame Duck legislative action (and surprises!) and what is anticipated in the new session.
There are multiple legislative issues being debated in the final days of the 102nd legislative session that will impact your township including term of office, election changes, preemption of zoning authority, public employees requirements and more! You won’t want to miss this lighting round breakdown which includes an extensive list of items being taken up in the final days in December.

You’ll get the latest on any possible changes to the Earned Sick Leave Act and the new minimum wage requirements as well as new road funding proposals and more—all in just one hour!
