Before posting
A good thread makes verification easier.
- Name the source. Official bill page, committee calendar, petition page, agency notice, or state record.
- Name the uncertainty. Ask what changed, what deadline matters, or what record still needs checking.
- Protect privacy. Keep personal identifiers and private medical details out of public discussion.
