The Highway Investment, Job Creation and Economic Growth Act

SIFMA, as part of a coalitions, provides comments to the U.S. Congress Conference Committee tasked with agreeing to provisions in the Highway Investment, Job Creation and Economic Growth Act of 2012 (S. 1813).  In particular, the organizations support Section 40201 of S. 1813 and ask the conference committee to ensure its inclusion in the conference agreement to this legislation. This section is critical to communities across the United States and it mirrors the intent of bi-partisan legislation introduced by Senators Bingaman and Crapo last year, S. 1016, the Municipal Bond Market Support Act of 2011.
