Legislative Network

APA's Legislative Network is made up of legislative liaisons from each APA Chapter. If you are interested in federal or state legislation in your particular state you can contact your legislative liaison or other state's legislative liaisons through this network.

APA policy staff is already using the network to keep APA's chapters up to date on federal legislation important to planners. In addition, if action from APA members is needed to promote or to stop a particular bill, an alert is sent through the network asking members to contact their federal or state legislators.
