Start with your compact

Each roster separates the states that are actually issuing from the ones that have only enacted — the distinction that decides whether you can bill a session next week. Verified July 23, 2026.

Source policy

Rules are explicit, dated, and limited.

The MVP uses a hand-curated JSON ruleset because compact and registration data is published across HTML pages, fee tables, maps, and PDFs rather than a dependable API.
