1	CCAC Presents California Legislative Web Utility
2	It’s What we have all been waiting for! Legislative Web Utility January 2004 Presented by, Rick Benfield Vice President & Legislative Chair Alison Fiorini Student Intern
3	A long, long time ago… Once upon a time, there was a “Grey Binder” that was full of information! Everyone wondered how it would stay current. People looked at each other and rolled their eyes. So instead, it just sat on everyone’s shelf and collected dust. As time went by people hardly ever looked to the “Grey Binder” for information to guide them and teach them… So, it’s life has always been uneventful. Now there is something else to take its place.
4	Legislative Web Utility The LWU is a resourceful tool full of useful links to help you find information that can guide you to improve your camp: Health and Safety Information Natural Disaster Tips Current Camping Regulations Transporting campers in buses and 15-Passenger Vans Tax Information Employment of students and international employees You can search through current regulations, camping standards, many camping references, and today’s law!
5	What are those again? Standards = The “minimum” requirement of an average performance that is determined by the general consent of a professional society (ACA). Reference = A source of information and/or an aid to be used as an advisory. An adaptable tool to one’s specific situations. Law = A mandatory statute made by our government. Regulation = A rule based on the law that implements the law.
6	At Last! It’s innovative! Helpful and useful. Understandable. Doesn’t take up space on your shelf. What we have all been waiting for… Instead of on your shelf it is on the INTERNET!
