Applying the Principles of Federalism Across Policy Issues
Monday November 18, 2024 11:00am - 11:45am EST
Location: Drawing Room
Session sponsored by State Policy Network


Federal agencies have increasing influence over state and community self-governance. Much of it occurs behind the scenes, without the awareness or approval of our elected representatives. SPN’s Center for Practical Federalism has developed a Federalism Scorecard and other resources to identify where unelected federal officials exert undue influence over state governance and to identify practical policy solutions for states and communities to change this. This session will highlight what leaders are doing to strengthen self-governance in their states and communities.
