Manufacturing lobbyist and consultant Omar S. Nashashibi with The Franklin Partnership in Washington, D.C. will update NFFS members on the latest efforts in Congress to eliminate the tax on R&D activities and restore 100 percent expensing for CapEx, how the 2024 elections are impacting trade and tariff policy today, and what to expect from the Biden administration on regulations. The Labor Department is poised to release this summer its proposed rule regulating indoor workplaces when the heat index exceeds 80^oF; new overtime pay thresholds take effect July 1, and OSHA is allowing third parties on OSHA walkarounds.
