Regulations—which are laws created by health departments—touch on nearly every aspect of modern life, including food safety, water quality, housing, infectious disease control, licensing, pharmaceuticals, occupational safety, and medical practice, among others. Health departments can use regulations to help advance and protect the public’s health. The development of regulations, or rulemaking for short, is guided by specific processes that all practitioners should understand.

Join ASTHO and ChangeLab Solutions for a two-part webinar series on the importance of regulations and rulemaking.

Participants will learn about:

• What regulations are and why they are important to public health
• Where health departments get their rulemaking authority
• What processes health departments should use to create regulations

These webinars are geared towards public health department practitioners working in state government. While each state has different legal requirements for rulemaking, they have many features in common.
