PCCA Helps Secure Historic Tax Relief
On June 25, the Power and Communications Contractors Association (PCCA) joined more than 80 leading trade organizations in sending this letter to Senate leadership, pressing for passage of the new budget reconciliation tax package. With millions of jobs and local economies at stake, the coalition called for urgent action to deliver permanent tax relief for pass-through businesses. At the heart of the request was a full extension of the Section 199A deduction, vital for supporting pass-through entities and C corporations, alongside protections for the deductibility of state and local taxes.
Thanks to the strength and unity of this business community, those provisions were signed into law as part of the Big Beautiful Bill. PCCA is proud to have played a part in that success and remains deeply committed to advancing policies that support American enterprise and drive growth from the ground up.
PCCA Letter Supporting the PERMIT Act
PCCA sent a letter to House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure leadership on June 27 expressing support for the Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure for Today (PERMIT) Act. PCCA welcomes this legislation as a much-needed step toward fixing an outdated permitting process that ultimately slows the deployment of power and broadband infrastructure. PCCA looks forward to continued collaboration on common-sense reforms that get shovels in the ground.
Workforce Pell Grant Expansion
Signed into law on July 4, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes provisions that will expand Pell Grant eligibility to learners pursuing a short-term job training program. The new Workforce Pell Grants for short-term programs are effective July 1, 2026, and stand to benefit workers and providers in compliance with the new law. The change is also a positive development for employers seeking upskilled workers to meet industry’s workforce needs.
