Legislative Update from NCISS Legislative Committee and Lobbyit

The NCISS Legislative Advisory Board (LAB) assists supporting member state associations monitor state

Since 2019 NCISS has been closely monitoring the growing tide of anti Private Investigator media, in particular to close
access to restricted public records – records of importance to every NCISS member and their clients. Records which are
public, and restricted due to the nature of the information contained – such as personal identifiers. Since the September
Your Advocate, NCISS advised members of these increased attacks. As predicted then, beginning in January this activity
increased in Congress and in almost every state – including yours.

NCISS has been working closely with state associations and their legislative committees to develop responses and
strategies to these attacks. As a member, NCISS has communicated these regularly – and in this issue we will include
previous articles as reminders, as well as current articles and activities – and ask you to be ready for a Call to Action.

Your lobbyist in Washington DC is no longer warning of these legislative actions – they are actively upon us, and change
daily (during the course of preparing this issue were several changes – good and bad).

YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT IS NEEDED NOW!!
