The 269 primary legal sources behind every figure on this site

How a figure gets onto this site

1. Read at the source. Each figure comes from the text a legislature, court or state agency publishes itself, not from a summary, a law-firm article or another website.
2. Quoted, not paraphrased. The words a figure depends on are kept exactly as the publisher prints them, in the catalog you can download above, with a link to the official copy.
3. Every figure tied to its words. Florida’s commission schedule, for example, is published only when all four rate clauses and the statute’s definition of compensable value are found in the text.
4. Read again on a schedule. A figure whose supporting words are missing from its source, or a source not reread within 90 days, is not published until it is fixed.

This is deliberately stricter than citing a statute. A citation tells you where to look. This list records that someone looked, when, and what the page said at that moment.

What this does not claim

Sources are reread on a schedule, not every time you open a page. The date above is when they were last actually read. A statute amended after that date would not be reflected here until the next reading, which is why the date is published as prominently as the figures and why nothing is published from a source that has gone 90 days without one.
