The AAI Legislative Committee meeting on Wednesday featured a full recap of the AAI legislative priorities and the 2025 legislative session. Among the items receiving action from the legislature were the Grain Indemnity Fund, CDL hazmat endorsements for 18-21 year old drivers, the highway 65/5 bypass on the south side of Des Moines, and relevant budget appropriations. The legislative committee will consider 2025 AAI priorities that did not make it through the legislative process as potential 2026 session priorities.
Over the summer, AAI committees will discuss their recommendations for 2026 legislative priorities. Committee priorities will be passed along to the Legislative Committee which will make a full list of priority recommendations to the AAI Board of Directors. Members should watch their email and the Take Five newsletter for information about committee meetings.
