We have combined the NewRules.org and ILSR.org websites to better coordinate and publicize our work. All of the New Rules Project activity, research, and information continues here, on Institute for Local Self-Reliance’s new web site.
The New Rules Project had an extensive collection of rules — policies, bills, regulations, and ordinances — has also been transferred here. These policy models can be found in a long unorganized list under the Rules Library.
For subject specific rules in the archive of the New Rules Project, please use these links:
- Agriculture Rules
- Banking Rules
- Broadband Rules
- Composting Rules
- Energy Rules and more recent policy in our Community Power Map

- Equity Rules

As always, we welcome your questions and feedback.
