Government Relations News from www.Elks.org:
  • Lodges Looking at Smoking Policy in Light of New Report by Surgeon General
    A new report from the Surgeon General leaves no doubt that second-hand smoke is dangerous. Looking at health of members and employees, lodges are taking a look at smoking policy of their facilities.

     
  • Flag Amendment Falls One Vote Short
    An effort to amend the Constitution and give Congress authority to prevent desecration of the U.S. Flag failed to get a two-thirds vote in the Senate.

     
  • Alcohol Tax on Retail Sales Repealed
    Lodges get a bonus. Congress has repealed the special occupational tax og $250 a year that is levied on all places that sell alcohol

     
  • Lodges Urged to Get Involved in Property Takings Debate
    In the six weeks since the Supreme Court held that private property can be taken for private economic development, bills have been introduced in Congress and in more than half of the state legislatures to restrict, in varying degrees, the use of eminent domain for private development. Elks leaders are urging lodges and members to learn about the situation in their states, to get involved, and to contact their legislators.
