APGA Members Approve Revisions to Policy Resolutions at the Annual Meeting

On July 25, APGA members unanimously approved several revisions to APGA’s existing policy resolutions. APGA’s policy resolutions guide the association in the advocacy positions that are taken. Information on these resolutions was sent out as part of the Annual Meeting notice sent out on June 12. Specifically, three major changes to APGA’s policy resolutions were approved.

First, the policy resolution opposing the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) was removed. In addition, two new policy resolutions were approved. The first new resolution addresses the reduction in pipeline recourse rates which should occur as a result of a lowering in the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. The second resolution expresses an APGA member commitment to pipeline safety. The remainder of the revisions to the policy resolutions were minor and that did not change the substance or direction of the policy resolutions.

A copy of APGA’s policy resolutions is available on APGA’s website. For questions on this article, please contact Dave Schryver of APGA’s staff by phone at 202-464-2742 or by email at dschryver@apga.org.
