CSTE Legal Repository
How To Use This Repository
This repository is intended to contain resources that members can search through to educate themselves on public health authority broadly and find more information on trends and legislation related to public health authority at the state level. Potential scenarios you might use the repository for include:
- Determining the legal landscape for public health authority in a state and a sample of comparator states
- Searching for state legislation that creates greater legislative oversight over emergency orders
- Preparing testimony for a policy proposal in your state that limits public health authority

The CSTE Legal Repository provides epidemiologists with access to resources related to public health authority, primarily at the state level. The purpose of the legal repository is to mitigate a significant gap in the access to and understanding of resources available to epidemiologists by addressing public health authority, legal limitations, and the power to instate public health interventions and measures.
