Government Affairs committee


The Government Affairs Committee is extremely active especially during the Legislative session from January to May when we meet regularly to discuss the position, direction and strategy regarding the various measures affecting retail. 

Zoom meetings cover bills that have been introduced, effects measures have on the industry and community, RMH positions, updates on bills that continue to move, changes to the bill drafts and those that have died.
