GSCS will be putting forth suggestions regarding regulatory and mandate relief to the Christie transition team. GSCS asks members to submit their recommendations for mandate and regulatory relief via email to us at: gscs2000@gmail.com

Over the years GSCS has pushed hard for mandate relief, including being an initiating force in establshing the *Mandate Commission of 2003(*Click on More below).
