New Feature!
BNA Compare takes the work out of identifying the latest federal regulatory changes for users, making the process easier and quicker than ever. Amended regulations are automatically pinpointed via the self-prompted "BNA Compare" icon, which is embedded in the text to specify exactly where updates have occurred. Changes are clearly discernible, with "strikethroughs" denoting text deleted from the original federal source document and "underlining" used to designate a particular piece of text as completely new.
