This committee tracks ongoing developments in the legislature and in county and local jurisdictions that impact the environment of Ten Mile Lake and it's ongoing health and safety. Items of interest to members are posted here in the Anchor and occasional Email Alerts are sent to inform members.

• Monitor, review, distribute, and report on legislative issues related to lake quality, environmental stewardship and any other issues consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Ten Mile Lake Association (“TMLA”).
• Engage and report on federal, state, county or local organizations and officials, as well as on private or quasi-public volunteer organizations where their activities and/or policies may impact the Ten Mile Lake water quality or the surrounding environment.
• Create, with the help of the Communication and Technology Committee, a system whereby we receive information, announcements, alerts or questions from other associations and organizations with purposes comparable with and similar to those of the TMLA (e.g., Minnesota Lakes and Rivers, Association of Cass County Lakes, Leech Lake Watershed Foundation, and similar groups); review issues for relevance and significance, forward those issues determined to be important to the TMLA membership; offer suggestions, where appropriate, for members’ action on those issues; and follow up on the results.
• Meet with legislators and local officials or others with involvement, influence and authority—within our geographic area--to overview matters of relevance to the quality of life, environmental integrity and ecological sustainability of Ten Mile Lake and its immediate surrounding area.
• Solicit ideas, information, reactions, concerns and issues from the TMLA officers, board of directors, committee chairs and members as a whole in response to the materials distributed to them and asking for further legislative or regulatory matters deserving LAC attention.
