Industry Impact Watch

A New Service From FOCUS

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a dramatic shift to the way state and local policymakers operate, and businesses have therefore had to pivot their focus to navigating shifting deadlines, tracking an influx of gubernatorial actions, finding out when and where lawmakers are meeting and determining how and when they can operate. Our public policy professionals and analysts at FOCUS want to help you navigate through the challenges so your business can manage the chaos and find opportunities.

FOCUS is a full-service 50-state government affairs firm with years of experience as an industry leader in legislative tracking, reporting and policy research. Since March, we’ve expanded our offerings into a new world of COVID-19-specialized products — compiling tailored research and reports, launching a COVID-19 Resources website and issuing COVID-19 Briefing emails featuring news and free reference tools for policy professionals and the public.

We are now offering a new service — Industry Impact Watch – to provide concise and comprehensive coverage of state policy actions relating to COVID-19 and your specific industry. The service includes:

• Access to a customized database tracking COVID-related state legislation and regulations;
• Detailed, tailored reports covering:
  • Analysis of priority bills and regulations;
  • Updates on state budget and emergency funding proposals that affect your industry;
  • Changes to how state legislatures and state agencies are operating;
  • News about local ordinances and municipal actions;
  • Relevant gubernatorial actions and Executive Orders;
  • Updates on Stay at Home Orders, essential business designations and the impact on your industry;
• Access to our lobbyist network, including the global and 50-state lobbying entity, The Advocacy Group (TAG).

In addition, you will be assigned a lead public policy analyst to interact regularly with in tailoring this information to your business needs and to help dig up intelligence on different proposals. Our staff prides itself on working as an extension of your team.
