Legislative & Regulatory
The topics listed in this section are NASDA's major legislative and regulatory issues. These issues fit within the seventeen policy areas developed by the NASDA membership. These topics are consistent with the guiding principles outlined in the policy statement titled "Guiding Principles for Agricultural Competitiveness and Working Partnerships." NASDA policies are the operational, working policies that guide our efforts to influence the development and implementation of sound policy and programs at all levels of the federal government.
