Advocacy is at the core of what we do
SFAA is the trusted voice of the surety and fidelity industry for policymakers and other government officials from state houses across the country to Capitol Hill. By providing expert education for, and maintaining relationships with legislators, regulators, and other government officials, SFAA is able to successfully advocate for issues affecting the industry, our members, and the businesses and other stakeholders we serve. We promote the interests of the surety and fidelity industry and all of its stakeholders.
As part of this work, SFAA has developed impactful data sheets that quantify the benefits of public sector bonding for each state.
Based on publicly available data (January 2025) from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act (CHIPS), as well as modeling from the EY study, The Economic Value of Surety Bonds, these one-pagers include the following insights:
- Funds Allocated
- Number of State-Specific Projects
- Additional Surety Benefits
- Taxpayer Savings
