Regulatory Federalism: Policy, Process, Impact and Reform ...

FOREWORD

During the past decade and a half, a wholly new development arose in the field of intergovernmental relations: the emergence of a host of regulatory programs aimed at, or implemented by state and local governments. In its study Regulatory Federalism: Policy, Process, Impact and Reform, the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations examined the growth of new forms of intergovernmental regulations; explored their legislative origins and judicial treatment; chronicled past reform efforts; and, devised an agenda for regulatory reform and relief.

This In Brief summarizes the ACIR study on regulatory federalism. It was written by Stephanie Becker, ACIR public information officer, based on the work of the Government Structure and Functions Section, headed by David B. Walker.
