intrastate

Inside one state

Intrastate means within a single state, as opposed to interstate (between states).

The distinction matters legally and commercially: intrastate commerce falls under state rather than federal regulation.

The trucking company only had an intrastate license.

The word appears almost exclusively in American legal and business contexts.
