Federal Legislative Tracking
ANA works to protect the ability of all marketers to communicate effectively with consumers. The scope of proposed federal legislation impacting the marketing community is extremely broad, extending to issues as diverse as online privacy and data security, prescription drug advertising, restrictions on the tax deductibility of advertising costs, and the regulatory powers of the Federal Trade Commission.
