Today’s legislative issues
are becoming more and more complicated and, in most cases, will require
implementation through the rule making process. That is why more and
more companies and associations are forming a Regulatory Affairs group.
Similar to a legislative affairs specialist or lobbyist, a regulatory
lobbyist specializes in regulatory agencies within the federal, state or
city agencies.
In many state capitals, the major agencies and
departments are headquartered close to the legislative offices and
governor’s office in these cities. In most cases, the people who
decide on legislation reside outside of the state capitals. They come in
for legislative sessions and then leave to go home and work on problems
in their geographic area. One will encounter policy people within each
agency or department. These people are the technical experts and are
responsible for drafting the regulations while maintaining the intent of
the law.
We can help you determine which agencies will have the
most impact upon your organization and what can be done to help you have
an impact upon the regulatory process.
Just ask us
how.
