Stimulus plan: The newest "slice" on your plate
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. No. 111-5) (aka the stimulus plan) is on Westlaw. And not just the text of the act—you can also use Westlaw for a plethora of news sources, law review articles, federal and state regulations, and proposed legislation related to the stimulus plan.
A cost-effective way to retrieve these documents is to use one of the following Stimulus Plan "slice" databases recently released on Westlaw:
- Stimulus Plan Federal Register (STIMPLAN-FR)
- Stimulus Plan Federal Regulations (STIMPLAN-CFR)
- Stimulus Plan Journals and Law Reviews (STIMPLAN-LAWREV)
- Stimulus Plan News (STIMPLAN-NEWS)
- Stimulus Plan Pending Legislation (STIMPLAN-BILLTXT)
- Stimulus Plan State Regulations (STIMPLAN-ADC)
For example, suppose you represent a large health care organization and you want news documents on the electronic medical records incentives in the stimulus plan. Access STIMPLAN-NEWS and type a query such as recovery /3 reinvestment /p electronic /3 health medical /3 record.
You won't have to hunt for these databases—a new Stimulus Plan section was recently added to the following tabbed pages on Westlaw: Banking Compliance, Bankruptcy Practitioner, Business Practitioner, Communications, Construction Practitioner, Education, Energy, Environmental Practitioner, Finance and Banking, Financial Crisis, Government Affairs, Government Contracts, Health Law, Labor & Employment, Municipal Practitioner, Real Property Practitioner, Residential Mortgage Lending, Securities Practitioner, Tax, and Transportion.
