What bills passed
or died this year
in the Legislature?It was a legislative session like no other. Major policy pieces, such as a capital-gains tax and cap-and-trade legislation -- both opposed by AGC -- made it across the finish line after years of effort by proponents. But there were many other bills of particular concern
to the construction industry that were also considered. What lived, what died? Click here to see the summary.

Group Retro train just keeps rollin' on
Congratulations to our Group Retro members for achieving a whopping $81.2M in refunds for our three years in cycle.
“This year, we were able to increase our final adjustment year by nearly a million dollars such that our top net member
refunds hit 59%,” said Lauren Gubbe, Group Retro director. “On top of excellent refund results for members in all plan years, we hit our own internal target for beating last year’s total tracked savings before the adjustments!”
“These results reflect the caliber of our members and their shared commitment to safety from the top down and bottom up in conjunction with their investment in light duty accommodation. Their efforts along with our plan underwriting, performance based refund allocation, and the skilled AGC staff assistance continue to produce excellent results year in and out,” said Van Hardy, AGC Retro chairman.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, refund checks will be distributed by mail. Annual experience modification rate (EMR) performance awards will be either mailed or hand-delivered by various AGC staff.
