1.8.2

Future Revisions

Code

CDC realizes that the MAHC should be an evolving document that is kept up to date with the latest science, industry advances, and public health findings. As the MAHC is used and recommendations are put into practice, MAHC revisions will need to be made. As the future brings new technologies and new aquatic health issues, the CMAHC, with CDC participation, will institute a process for collecting national input that welcomes all stakeholders to participate in making recommendations to improve the MAHC so it remains comprehensive, easy to understand, and as technically sound as possible. These final recommendations will then be weighed by CDC for final incorporation into a new edition of the MAHC.

CDC realizes that the MAHC should be an evolving document that is kept up to date with the latest science, industry advances, and public health findings. As the MAHC is used and recommendations are put into practice, MAHC revisions will need to be made. As the future brings new technologies and new aquatic health issues, the Conference for the Model Aquatic Health Code (CMAHC), with CDC participation, will institute a process for collecting national input that welcomes all stakeholders to participate in making recommendations to improve the MAHC so it remains comprehensive, easy to understand, and as technically sound as possible. These final recommendations will then be weighed by CDC for final incorporation into a new edition of the MAHC. Given the vision, mission, and goals of the MAHC as discussed in MAHC Section 1.3, the CDC will be especially interested in addressing any problems identified. CDC encourages interested individuals to consider raising issues and suggesting solutions through the CMAHC process.
