NACo Regulatory Outlook for the Biden Administration

Many county responsibilities are mandated by both the state and the federal government. While county government responsibilities differ, most states grant their counties significant authorities to fulfill public services.

Regulatory policy is a crucial difference between presidential administrations and is often a way for the successive administration to immediately differentiate itself from the last. Following his election, President Donald Trump repealed and replaced several regulations written by President Barack Obama.

Our nation’s counties should expect to see a similar overhaul to the finalized regulations enacted during President Trump’s Term. President Joe Biden has said he intends to use his regulatory authority to advance many of his policy priorities.
