State Government
Different government entities -- local, state, and Tribal/federal -- regulate different industries and can simultaneously regulate different components of the same industry! For instance, ECMC regulates oil and gas, but we don't regulate the transportation of oil and gas. That's because the regulatory agency needs to have the proper subject matter expertise over the matter. Our team of experts at ECMC coordinates regularly with colleagues across other state agencies as well as with local governments and Tribal/federal departments.
