EPA Announces Water Rule at IBS Article by NAHB EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced a final “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) rule during the International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas. “The Navigable Waters Protection Rule is a big win for states, municipalities, builders and developers, landowners and the American public,” Wheeler said in remarks to NAHB’s Leadership Council. “It will make it easier to understand where the Clean Water Act applies and, as importantly, where it does not.” The EPA administrator noted the new water rule is good for the economy and the environment.

DOL Announces Joint Employer Rule Article by NAHB In a win for NAHB, the Labor Department in January announced a final rule to provide a clearer method for determining joint employer status. The rule will provide clarity and certainty regarding employers' responsibility to pay federal minimum wage and overtime for all hours worked over 40 in a week. The new rule will take effect March 16. It includes a set of joint employment examples to further assist in clarifying joint employer status President Trump Signs USMCA Trade Pact Article by NAHB In a positive development for the housing industry, President Trump on Jan. 29 signed the U.S.-Mexico- Canada Agreement (USMCA). The U.S. residential construction and remodeling industries rely on tens of billions of dollars in building materials sourced from Mexico and Canada each year. By modernizing and strengthening free trade with our largest trade partners, the USMCA will boost U.S. economic growth and help keep the price of homes and home improvements low.
