- Legislative Watch
- The most important function of NCISS is to monitor and
direct federal legislation. But we also play an important
role in acting as a conduit for state legislative
information. Through joint efforts and other national and
state associations of related industries, our advocates keep
a finger on bills which affect o r professions. Often, a law
passed in a trend setting state will be adopted almost
verbatim by other states wishing to follows it. If an
unfavorable law is enacted in one state, NCISS alerts other
state associations who can take action to keep the problem
from spreading. A number of important position papers have
already been authored on key issues such as privacy, police
moonlighting, reciprocity and use of private contractors
over hiring more government employees. NCISS officers are
frequently called upon to testify at congressional hearings
giving our industry’s viewpoint. Hit The Hill - NCISS
members from across the country join together in Washington
to meet with their senators, representatives and staff so
they can be informed about our concerns and viewpoints.
Congress appreciates our input in assisting them with
promulgating sound legislation.

- State Association Advisory Board ( SAAB)
- While serving as the voice of the industry in Washington
D. C., NCISS recognized the need of state association
leaders to be able to effectively communicate with their
colleagues on issues that were specific to state
associations. The purpose of the SAAB is to create a forum
for the exchange of ideas, information, needs and concerns
relative to the state and regional associations. We
recognize the power of communication, the power of
knowledge, and the power of being able to both share and
receive information.
