Applicable Laws, Regulations, and Guidance Documents
STATUTES/LAWS
Federal laws generally apply to people living in the United States and its territories. Congress creates and passes bills. The President then signs those bills into law. Federal courts may review these laws and strike them down if they think they do not agree with the U.S. Constitution. Bills in Congress can be tracked here (How a Bill Becomes a Law)The United States Code contains the general and permanent laws of the United States. It does not include regulations issued by executive branch agencies, decisions of federal courts, treaties, or laws enacted by state or local governments. New laws are assigned a public law number and included in the next edition of the United States Statutes at Large & Public & Private Laws. You can also find new laws enacted by the current Congress before they are part of the United States Statutes at Large.
Missouri Statutes
Statutes are laws approved by the Missouri General Assembly and usually signed into law by the governor. They are based on constitutional authority granted to the legislature to establish policies and approved by a majority of the house and senate. The statutes, or the laws passed by the legislature, are published in the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo.). Statutes may be created and amended each year by the legislature. State courts may review these laws and remove them if they think they do not agree with the Missouri Constitution. Bills in the state of Missouri can be tracked here.

REGULATIONS
Federal Regulations
Regulations are issued by federal agencies, boards, or commissions. They explain how the agency intends to carry out a law. Federal regulations are created through a process known as rulemaking. By law, federal agencies must consult the public when creating, modifying, or deleting rules in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The CFR is broken up into 50 titles that define various categories. The titles are divided into chapters which bear the name of the issuing agency. This is an annual publication that lists the official and complete text of federal agency regulations.
Missouri Regulations
The executive branch of state government promulgates rules. The executive branch includes elected officials—governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, state treasurer and state auditor. Also included in this branch under the administration of the governor's office are all the various state agencies, such as: the Department of Transportation, Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Department of Conservation, Department of Public Safety, etc…etc.
The Code of State Regulations (CSR) is divided into 22 titles. These titles bear the name of the state agency that promulgated the rules. An update to the Code of State Regulations is published once a month on the last day of the month. The rulemakings published in the Code become effective thirty (30) days after they are published unless a later day has been chosen by the agency.
REGISTERS
Federal RegisterOnce an agency decides that a regulation needs to be added, changed, or deleted, it typically publishes a proposed rule in the Federal Register to ask the public for comments. After the agency considers public feedback and makes changes where appropriate, it then publishes a final rule in the Federal Register with a specific date for when the rule will become effective and enforceable. When the agency issues a final rule for comment, it must describe and respond to the public comments it received. The Federal Register is updated daily.
Missouri Register
The Missouri Register is the publication that sets forth all state agency rulemakings as they proceed through the rulemaking process. Specifically, the Register will contain emergency rules, proposed rules, final orders of rulemakings, and in additions. The purpose of the Missouri Register is to allow citizens access to the rulemaking process and the ability to comment on and recommend changes to proposed rules. Additionally, other state government information, such as dissolutions of limited liability companies and limited partnerships, are published in the Register. The Missouri Register is published twice a month, around the 1st and 15th of each month.
Local Ordinances/Laws
Jefferson City Ordinance/Laws are locals are introduced as bills by a local council person and voted on by the 10 member council. After the council approves the bill it becomes an ordinance and it is typically signed by the mayor and becomes a law. Local Ordinances can be found in "The Code of Jefferson City, Missouri".Consensus StandardsConsensus standards are standards developed by technical or professional societies or by national and international standards-setting organizations according to a well-defined procedure for consensus agreement among representatives of various interested or affected individuals, companies, organizations, and countries. A consensus standard is usually referred to as an industry, national, or international standard depending upon the scope of the organization that establishes and promulgates the standard.
