How to read this file
Each row describes one official law, policy, model or guidance document. Related provisions appear together. State models and guidance can require local adoption. Proposals do not establish enacted requirements. Each record includes status, dates, scope and exceptions.
The default view shows adopted policies, current published documents and guidance. Future enacted changes, proposals, and historical bills have separate views.
Source numbers link to the official publication and the relevant section. Each source includes an excerpt, a text fingerprint and a review date.
