"What is the Law?"
At some point, everyone involved with state government affairs asks this question.
When your need is based on compliance or issue management objectives, and your task involves multiple localities or a multistate approach, compiling, summarizing and updating state strategies can be a major undertaking.
Equally challenging is the issue of distribution - how to get a useful resource into the hands of everyone who needs it.
Stateside Associates specializes in creating customized reference resources covering federal, state and local laws and regulations. The company has created these PROFILES for retailers, chemical companies, petroleum companies, insurance companies, electronics manufacturers, electric utilities, trade associations and the United States Navy and Army.
And, Stateside Associates has solved the distribution problem by making the PROFILES available via the internet in secure, client-specific sites that can be accessed by one person or hundreds.
What Information is Included in PROFILES?
- A concise, plain language synopsis of relevant statutes, regulations, agency guidance and enforcement practices as they affect the client
- Name of the agency or department of jurisdiction and regulatory contact information
- Statutory and regulatory citations
- Hyperlink to full text of statutes and regulations where available
How is the Information Compiled?
PROFILES are prepared by Stateside's Regulatory Counsel. Regulatory Counsels are staff attorneys who perform the research through a combination of legal analysis and discussions with the regulators.
How is the Information Distributed?
Stateside Associates has created an XML-based web portal specifically for these reference resources. The PROFILES portal:
- Features secure access to a client-specific web page, customized with the client's logo, name and unique links
- "Pick lists" of issues and jurisdictions covered in the reference resource
- Full-text search capability
- Browser navigation
What Other Services are Available?
