Public Finance Network Opposes Bond Provisions in H.R. 1
Section: Washington Update




The Public Finance Network, of which NASACT is a member, recently sent a letter to House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) to express opposition to provisions in H.R. 1 that eliminate financing tools used to provide critical investments in infrastructure and save taxpayer money.

The group urged the committe to reconsider two specific provisions:
  1. The repeal of the ability to advance refund municipal bonds.
  2. The termination of the ability to use private activity bonds (PABs).
