What is the key to smoothly implementing the NLC in my state?
It is important that rule-making processes to implement the NLC be clearly spelled out in the legislation, and that proposed implementation regulations be developed simultaneously with that legislation. The NLCA has drafted model rules that have been adopted through each NLC state’s open and public rule-making processes, as set forth in each state’s Administrative Procedures Act. States should plan 6 months – 1 year between legislation passing and fully implementing the NLC.
