Government Relations

ImageFounded in 1942, the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP) is the voice of surety bond producers with government and industry, assuming a vital leadership role in promoting and defending suretyship in the functioning of government and commerce.

The strength and fulfillment of NASBP’s government relations initiatives resides in the many efforts of its volunteer members, who work with professional association staff to accomplish NASBP’s annual government relations agenda for action at all levels of government.

NASBP staff regularly develop grassroots tools, such as model letters and educational articles on surety topics, for NASBP members’ use in educating their legislators, clients and others. NASBP mobilizes its grassroot networks at federal, state, and local levels to address legislation and regulations impacting surety bonding and other related areas.

Of critical importance are NASBP's efforts to preserve and defend statutory bonding requirements, such as the federal Miller Act and state “Little Miller Acts.” Throughout the year NASBP staff track and comment on legislation and regulations at state and federal levels.

NASBP’s government relations efforts also include the support and management of NASBP’s Political Action Committee, the SuretyPAC. The SuretyPAC supports Congressional candidates who understand the value that surety bonding brings to the efficient functioning of government and commerce, benefiting their communities and constituencies.

NASBP compliments its government relations efforts with outreach targeted to key groups, such as those representing important constituencies in the surety and construction industries. Such outreach efforts are directed towards building strong and ready coalitions when needed to take action on legislation and regulations that may impact the surety bond producer and the surety product. Click here for more about NASBP's Industry Relations.
