What is ACR?
Founded in 1978, our national organization’s members are involved with the administrative rules process. Known as the Administrative Codes and Registers (ACR) Section of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) our objectives include:
|
To gather, exchange and disseminate facts, information and ideas that relate to the publication and distribution of administrative codes and registers;
To enhance the quality of administrative codes and registers through better style, format and design;
To encourage the development of administrative codes and registers in jurisdictions where none exist;
|
To foster the development of better rulewriting skills and rule review techniques, and more effective management of the rule promulgation process; and to
To increase knowledge of administrative law among ACR Section members and within the general public
