How we check every page
Step 1. We find the rule in the state's own law, or on the page of the agency or court that sets it.
Step 2. We write down where we read it and the date, next to each fact.
Step 3. Every fact is checked against its source before the page goes live.
Step 4. We re-check each page at least every 90 days and log what changed.
When your state takes a free course, you see it before any paid one.
