Governmental Affairs Program
NRHA’s Governmental Affairs Program informs retailers about federal legislative developments that directly affect their businesses and helps them deal with federal regulations. A Legislative Committee consisting of the president and executive vice president of NRHA and retailers dedicated to supporting NRHA’s governmental efforts offers guidance on issues of major importance.
NRHA reports on legislative and regulatory activities through News from Washington, a quick update on recent legislative and regulatory developments; “Capitol Retail Report” in Hardware Retailing magazine; Washington Report, a monthly wrap-up; a comprehensive Quarterly Legislative Update; Washington Info Alerts on issues of immediate interest, and Federal Laws & Regulations, compliance guidelines on new laws and regulations. New in 2009 is a series of live Webinars on how to deal with new federal regulations.
News from Washington, Washington Report, the Quarterly Legislative Update, Washington Info Alerts and Federal Laws & Regulations are available online as is a list of information sources, a guide to the federal legislative and regulatory process and an outline on how to get involved in legislative matters.
NRHA is a member of the Small Business Legislative Council and the National Retail Federation.
