What this service is:
EHS Legislative Alert is an innovative e-mail/online service that tracks federal and state EHS legislation nationwide — customize by jurisdiction, topic, and frequency of delivery.
What it helps you do:
- Stay up-to-date with summaries of federal and state legislative developments, delivered as often as you want, on the topics you specify.
- Get the facts you need on new legislation. Each e-mail contains the state, topic, bill number, sponsor, title, latest action, and summary, with a link to a list of full-text versions of the bill and a history of all actions on the bill.
- Find out whenever there's an action on a bill, even if nothing happens — a “No Activity” update tells you whether your selected jurisdictions and topics had no action to report.
- Use the preferences tool to choose exactly what you want to track: jurisdictions; topics within or among jurisdictions; frequency of e-mail deliveries; and status or action (e.g., introduction of bill, passage, enactment, etc.)
- Rely on the expertise of Bloomberg BNA's EHS editors, in cooperation with StateNet, to do the legislative legwork for you — performing daily searches of newly introduced laws and new actions on existing bills, verifying the inclusion of the bill in the summary, and confirming the accuracy of the information.
- Speed up your research with a searchable online archive, which consolidates in one place all the summaries containing information about a bill. Includes links to full text.
