In this episode of Restoration Today, Robbie Bradshaw, IICRC’s Director of Government Relations, shares the latest wins for the restoration industry on Capitol Hill. From pushing mold legislation in states like Michigan to securing the adoption of the S520 standard, Robbie’s work is all about protecting public health and raising the bar for remediation.
He reveals how recent federal changes now allow 529 savings plans to cover industry certifications—opening more doors for skilled trade careers—and why the annual Educating the Advocates Symposium is empowering restorers to influence legislation. Robbie also cautions against relying on AI for copyrighted standards and stresses the value of official digital editions for accuracy.
Plus, a peek into his life outside lobbying, where music fuels his creativity. Hear why he’s optimistic about growing recognition of IICRC standards in law and how you can get involved in shaping the industry’s future.
