State & Local Advocacy

The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) through its state and local advocacy efforts, encourages the adoption of statewide legislation that benefits the built environment to make it more durable, resilient, and sustainable. NRMCA can assist in the adoption of statewide or local legislation by providing example model language.
