Now for the good news: ACCE & ALEC elected officials have been working hard on proposals for model policy. Across all of the task forces, a total of 54 draft model policy submissions will be reviewed and considered at this summer’s Annual Meeting. Two of ACCE's Statements of Principle have been under discussion in joint working groups with ALEC task force members, and we’ve made significant progress in creating guiding documents for those on the gig economy and on housing and zoning issues. 👉 <https://go.alec.org/e/567012/view-policies/j7htnd/1610426207/h/qsR5BqYyg8-rtwkQPg-5amXdRUhbwGbAnlBLy2ljz6A> View all proposed ALEC/ACCE policies here <https://go.alec.org/e/567012/tag-2025-annual -meeting-/j7htnh/1610426207/h/qsR5BqYyg8-rtwkQPg-5amXdRUhbwGbAnlBLy2ljz6A> We’re encouraged by the positive impact the ALEC/ACCE model continues to have, facilitating meaningful collaboration between private sector members and elected officials from municipal, county, and state levels. For years, this forum has proven to be a trusted source for developing effective policy. ________________________________ ACCE Annual Meeting – Have You Registered Yet?

This comprehensive report ranks all 50 states on ten key pro-worker, pro-growth labor reforms—from occupational licensing and public-sector collective bargaining to right-to-work protections. It identifies leaders like Arizona, Utah, and Georgia, and highlights opportunities for improvement nationwide. Policymakers, businesses, and stakeholders can use the report's state-by-state analysis and model policy recommendations to guide efforts in bolstering workforce flexibility and economic resilience. 👉 <https://go.alec.org/e/567012/states-that-work/j7htns/1610426207/h/qsR5BqYyg8-rtwkQPg-5amXdRUhbwGbAnlBLy2ljz6A> Explore the full roadmap <https://go.alec.org/e/567012/policy-roadmap-across-america -/j7htnw/1610426207/h/qsR5BqYyg8-rtwkQPg-5amXdRUhbwGbAnlBLy2ljz6A> A new report from the Home Builder’s Institute outlines how the skilled labor shortage is driving up costs and slowing housing development nationwide. The study, conducted in partnership with the University of Denver, quantifies the economic toll of extended construction timelines and reduced housing output. Key findings include: * Labor shortages add nearly two months to home construction timelines. * These delays cost the industry $2.6 billion annually in added carrying costs. * The shortage led to an estimated 19,000 fewer homes built in 2024—an $8.1 billion loss in housing production. The combined economic impact: $10.8 billion per year. As housing affordability becomes a top local priority, workforce development and trade training must be part of the long-term policy response. 👉 <https://go.alec.org/e/567012/housing-report/j7htnz/1610426207/h/qsR5BqYyg8-rtwkQPg-5amXdRUhbwGbAnlBLy2ljz6A> Read the full report <https://go.alec.org/e/567012/s-2025-07-HBI-Denver-Study-pdf/j7ht p3/1610426207/h/qsR5BqYyg8-rtwkQPg-5amXdRUhbwGbAnlBLy2ljz6A> If you have any questions or need help registering, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at membership@acce.us <mailto:membership@acce.us> .
