Legislative Watch
-
The most important function of
NCISS is to monitor and direct federal legislation. But
we also play an important role in acting as a conduit
for state legislative information. Through joint efforts
and other national and state associations of related
industries, our advocates keep a finger on bills which
affect o r professions. Often, a law passed in a trend
setting state will be adopted almost verbatim by other
states wishing to follows it. If an unfavorable law is
enacted in one state, NCISS alerts other state
associations who can take action to keep the problem
from spreading. A number of important position
papers have already been authored on key issues such as
privacy, police moonlighting, reciprocity and use of
private contractors over hiring more government
employees. NCISS officers are frequently called upon to
testify at congressional hearings giving our industry’s
viewpoint. Hit The Hill
-
NCISS members from across the country join
together in Washington to meet with their
senators, representatives and staff so they can be
informed about our concerns and viewpoints.
Congress appreciates our input in assisting them
with promulgating sound legislation. |

colleagues on issues that were specific to state
associations. The purpose of the AAC is to create a
forum for the exchange of ideas, information, needs and
concerns relative to the state and regional
associations. We recognize the power of communication,
