In the early morning hours of Saturday the Senate passed their version of the tax reform package, and we have reviewed the bill to assess the impact on architects and their key issues. The Senate version differs substantially from the House version that was passed on November 16, and legislators from both houses will now move to conference to develop a final version of the bill.
To learn how the version passed by the Senate affects your members, please read our
latest Tax Reform Update
for components. Additionally, you can easily see how the provisions related to our key issues differ in the House and Senate versions of the bill in our
updated comparison chart
.
The AIA has also released a statement from 2017 President Thomas Vonier, FAIA, which is available
here
.
We are currently waiting on the list of conferees to be announced. Once that list is available, we will be sending an update to a wider range of members including the LAN, COTE, the Historic Resource Committee, and members who have participated in the tax reform action alerts. Members with legislators participating in the conference will be asked to continue to contact their offices. Additionally, we will be asking you as component staff to reach out to your state’s governor, the mayors of your cities, and members of your city councils to ask them to weigh in with the conference legislators.
Please stay tuned – once the list of conferees is revealed, we will be moving quickly to mobilize AIA members. In the meantime, please read the updates available above to help you address any questions you may receive from your membership. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to those of us on the Advocacy team for additional information.
Thanks,
Sarah Dodge
Senior Vice President, Advocacy & Relationships

This release includes updated versions of the Architect Scope documents and many of the frequently-used AIA forms. Working with architects, contractors, subcontractors and owners, the AIA Documents Committee updates this core set of documents every 10 years.

What’s your order for the 2018 AIAOC Community Leaders Breakfast Series?
Whether you’re seeking to develop relationships or want to influence policy that affects the built
environment, the “AIAOC Community Leaders Breakfast with...” series is the members voice to
local advocacy.
Who would you like to meet in a round table setting in 2018?

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
