What this checker does and does not do

It matches your answers to the conditions we have verified for each law, such as the places it covers, the decisions it regulates and the role it addresses. When a law depends on a threshold or definition we cannot ask about reliably, it appears under “May apply” instead of “Likely applies”.

It does not give legal advice, does not cover other US states or sector rules we have not researched, and cannot account for exemptions that turn on facts it does not ask about. Treat a result as a starting point and read the linked source. If you spot an error, tell us at contact@governome.com and we will log it on the corrections page.
