Considerations for state and local governments include overall regulatory administrative requirements, funding considerations, timeframe, and legal authorities to implement such policies. It is important to note that these designations are broadly based on existing programs and experiences, and that local policy decisions and factors will determine ultimate program administrative requirements.
In terms of administrative requirements, some policies may require a lengthy regulatory process for planning and approval, which could add time and resources to undertake. Others may involve significant coordination among agencies and a significant regulatory process to establish a program while still others may be relatively simply for a state or local government.
