Every state's gate on one sheet

The four-column comparison, printed to keep beside the phone.

The four-column comparison, the two contradictions, and the jurisdictions nobody has published.

  • 01 Who may make the request, per jurisdiction — and the two states that disagree
  • 02 Professional indemnity and public liability minimums, with the blanks left blank
  • 03 The signed instrument each department requires, and who signs it
