Editorial policy

Sources

Statute and regulation text and government pages come first. News reports are used for documented cases and labeled as such. A fact we cannot open at the source is marked or left out.

Penalties and fees

Penalties are given only from statute text we read, as maximums. Fees carry the date they were checked.

Review dates

Each guide shows when it was last reviewed. We recheck when an agency changes its guidance and when readers report a problem.

Corrections

Errors are fixed promptly and logged on the corrections page.

Independence

No payment from document sellers, no affiliate links to them. Scam sites are described by pattern and not named.

Legal information

Pages that mention the law are information, not legal advice. For your situation, consult a licensed attorney.
