The NSDCAR Government Affairs program is focused on
working with the legislative and regulatory bodies that affect our industry
within our service area. The Association's Government Affairs Director
serves as an important link between local, state, and national government
affairs issues and maintains an intimate awareness and understanding
of those issues.
On these pages we provide you with up-to-date information on local,
state, and national political, legislative, and regulatory issues, along
with links to valuable resources to assist you in understanding and
influencing your elected officials.
