[Cisspstudy] List of Regulatory Compliances (US Centric World)

[Clement Dupuis]

Good day Prakash,

This is great information for members of the list living in the USA.

However, for the exam purpose I would not spend too much time on remembering
any of those laws.  US Specific laws have been removed from the exam a few
years ago.

Thanks for yet another contribution

Best regards

Clement
