What Advocacy and Legislative Resources Does SLAA Offer?

SLAA (the St. Louis Apartment Association) maintains a dedicated Advocacy section on its website that covers state and national policy tracking for the multifamily housing industry. If you are a member who needs to follow Missouri legislation, receive weekly updates during the legislative session, or understand how the industry's political action committee works, the resources below are the main entry points.

Missouri state-level tracking

The site's Advocacy area includes a section labeled HBS Missouri Weekly Legislative Updates. This is the primary channel for state-level policy monitoring, and it is paired with a legislative consultant:

• Angie Schulte, SLAA's Legislative Consultant & Bill Tracking — the site lists bill tracking as part of this role, meaning members can follow specific Missouri bills through the consultant's work rather than tracking them independently.
• HBS – News Alert & Monday Morning Memo — a separate alert and memo format, suggesting time-sensitive notices in addition to the weekly update cadence.

If your question is "which Missouri bills affect rental property management right now," the weekly update and bill tracking pages are where that information is consolidated.

National policy updates

Beyond Missouri, SLAA's Advocacy section aggregates national-level material:

• NAA Public Policy Updates — policy news from the National Apartment Association, relevant to owners and managers operating under federal rules.
• NAAPAC INSIDER — coverage of the industry's political action committee.

Political action committee (NAAPAC)

The Advocacy section treats NAAPAC as its own topic area with two distinct paths:

Note that contribution pages are separate from the informational pages — if you only want to understand what NAAPAC does, the INSIDER and "Why You Should Donate" pages cover that without requiring a donation.

Who these resources are for

The Advocacy content is aimed at SLAA members in the multi-housing industry — property owners, management companies, and supplier partners — who need to anticipate regulatory change rather than react to it. The association was chartered in 1976 to advance the welfare of the multifamily housing industry in the metropolitan St. Louis area, and the advocacy section is the policy-facing part of that mission, alongside its educational seminars and networking events.

Practical notes

• Some Advocacy pages are marked as restricted. The site labels certain board and committee areas as "Access Only," so expect a login for at least some governance-adjacent content. The public Advocacy headings listed above are the ones surfaced in the main navigation.
• The site also offers a free mobile app, which is a reasonable way to receive news alerts and updates without checking the website manually.
• If you are not yet a member, membership benefits and the join flow are handled separately from the Advocacy pages — the legislative updates are presented as a member-facing resource.

For the most current bill positions or pending Missouri legislation, the weekly legislative update and the legislative consultant's bill tracking are the authoritative channels within SLAA; the national updates and NAAPAC material supplement that with federal and PAC context.
