This is not law. It records what the licensing authority named below published, on the date shown. It is not a statement of what the law requires, and it is not legal advice.

Examine every requirement on this page. Ask what authorizes it. A licensing authority's power comes from the statute. Municipal pages go years without revision, some state requirements the statute does not impose, and some contradict themselves. We record what a body says; whether it may lawfully say it is a separate question.
