This menu offers a comprehensive summary of state laws that reference
accreditation, including state statutory and regulatory language. It can be
a useful resource for policy makers and public health practitioners interested
in the legal methods by which other states have required, encouraged, or
financed health department accreditation.

Public Health Law is hosting the  Affordable Care Act: Litigation and
Implementation Update webinar on Thursday, October 16, 2014, from

Care Act (ACA) implementation, including states’ decisions regarding
Medicaid expansion and health insurance exchanges, as well as provisions
regarding public health. Experts will also discuss the legal challenges to
the ACA, some seeking to enjoin the law and others to enforce it. The webinar
