We have prepared survey questions to assist you to navigate through the proposed changes and provide your comments on each.

You are also welcome to provide your input by getting in contact with Marisa Jacobs who has previously participated in NEDLAC on marisa@xpatweb.com.

We will ensure a collated and sanitized formal submission is prepared and submitted to the Department and in the format which has impacted previous law changes.
