Quiet Movement Update on SDGAA
January 30, 2025 - Paragon Government Relations is making progress on NSDA's priority bill, the Special District Grant Accessibility Act, in the 119th Congress.
- Senate: Senator Cornyn will reintroduce the bill, with Senator Merkley signing on as a cosponsor once the Legislation is introduced. Paragon is working with Cornyn’s team and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to secure a Democratic lead.
- House: Representatives Fallon and Pettersen will lead efforts, with potential coordination for a potential bicameral introduction.
Next Steps:
- The bill is not yet live, so a formal cosponsor push is premature. More planning is underway, including Advocacy committee discussions, renaming the bill, and press strategy.
- The introduction may align with NSDA’s DC Fly-In.
- Members engaging with their congressional representatives can mention the upcoming reintroduction and offer to provide updates as details solidify. Informally asking for future cosponsorship is apprpriate.
Stay tuned for more updates as we move forward!
