Verification levels

Some state pages were read in full on the official site. Others were checked from official documents surfaced by search. States marked "limited official detail" show only what the official source states. Directly read so far: California, New Jersey, Texas.

Translations

Pages in Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Tagalog are translated from English. Program and agency names stay in English so you can match them on official sites. If anything differs, the English version and official sources prevail.
