COFPAES urges surveyors to contact their congressman for a vote in favor of H.R. 1577.

The Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives is expected to vote on Thursday, April 18 on H.R. 1577, the Federal Prison Industries Reform bill.

COFPAES has been working on this legislation for several years. They see it as their chance to curb Federal and state prison industries, which are increasingly entering the scanning, digitizing and GIS market, and being forced on A/Es on our Federal contracts.
