OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERACTION AND
FEEDBACK
Member Communication, Feedback, and
Interaction

Working premise
 Having a microphone for 2-3 people to speak in support or
opposition to CR is not the best interaction
• Selects for those fastest and loudest
 Want to broaden feedback to include as many people as
possible
• Mimic as much as possible the MAHC development process
with multiple rounds and modes of public comment
 Note: Burden of feedback is on members to read and get
involved
Overall Process: Member Communication,
Feedback, and Interaction

Key consideration
 States must review head to head and fit into regulatory or
legislative process and timeframe so adoption can take 1-2
years

adopted in 1-2 years; all states in 5 years—small section
• FDA Food Code adoption sped up in years 3-6---entire
model code


NACCHO endorsement
23 state and local jurisdictions comparing MAHC to
existing code or moving ahead on potential adoption
(eg., New Mexico, Indiana)
 CDC has conducted four head-to-head comparisons to be made
for key states
