Scenario

You recently earned a competitive internship within a state government office. Your position will support upper-level leadership through business research and analysis. As your agency oversees a variety of professional/occupational licensures, your director has requested that you research and evaluate different Federal laws governing business trade and operations. Specifically, management is seeking a discussion about how different Federal laws may impact local and state companies.

Instructions

Select at least four laws or regulations that may impact business trade and/or operations. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Department of Labor may be helpful resources.

Write a 3-4-page business report that addresses the following:

• Explain each law or regulation and identify how each affects various businesses within the state and its communities.
• What long-term impact do you think these laws may have on businesses, both locally and in general?
