B.12.e. Legislative Liaison Committee

The Auxiliary LLC was created to track legislative and regulatory changes in the various State and Federal Governments that have an impact on Auxiliary safe boating programs. The Chair will be appointed by the NACO. Such information is reported directly to the NACO and to the NEXCOM for use in reviewing Auxiliary program adequacy and relevancy. Legislative and regulatory changes have an important impact on PE, VSCs, and related safety programs, as well as Auxiliary policy and procedures.
