Rulemaking is an essential part of the lawmaking process, and often overlooked as a key advocacy tool at the state level. And every state handles the regulatory process differently! Join us to hear strategies for navigating and influencing this complex but increasingly important landscape.
Featured Topic & Speakers
On average, states have 135,000 regulatory restrictions in administrative rules. How can advocacy professionals manage and navigate this essential part of the legislative process in the states? During this workshop, our experts will answer this question and more by covering:
- An overview of the state rulemaking landscape
- Creating regulatory advocacy plans that work
- Coordinating regulatory advocacy with your other state and federal advocacy strategies
- Using regulations to bypass unfriendly legislatures
- Assessing the cost of state regulations to your industry
- Measuring and showing the value of your function
