While much of the focus today is on Washington, DC, state legislative sessions are tackling critical issues that will shape the nation’s future. With the new administration signaling its commitment to restoring the balance of power between the federal government and the states, state lawmakers have a unique opportunity to drive key policy decisions in education, fiscal policy, energy independence, healthcare, and so much more.
