Policies and Regulations
The U.S. Senate passed S.RES.241 designating November 16, 2011 as “National Information and Referral Services Day” – you may view the Senate resolution by clicking here. The resolution was sponsored by Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Patty Murray (D-WA). Additional resolution supporters (cosponsors) included Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Mike Johanns (R-NE), Ben Nelson (Democrat-NE) and Bernard Sanders (I-VT).
The intent of S.Res.241 is to raise public awareness and recognize the critical importance of the Information & Referral/Assistance field. The Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS), in conjunction with its public policy firm, have been working for the past four years to designate a day for National Information and Referral/Assistance Services.
