01Official source linkedEvery published change points back to the government or agency source we used to verify it.
02Status made clearProposed, upcoming and effective do not mean the same thing. We label them accordingly.
03Human reviewedBefore a consequential alert is published, a person checks the date, applicability and wording.
What you should expect
Each alert is written for a working repair shop: what changed, whether it is final, what you may want to check, and where to read the official source.
Baselines are reference records, not new alerts
We also publish reviewed operating baselines when a standing state or federal rule is useful context for future changes. Baselines are labeled clearly, stay in the reference library, and are not sent as though a new regulatory change just happened.
What this is not
Repair Shop Alerts is an information service, not legal advice and not a guarantee that every law, locality or obligation has been captured. When the source is unclear, we would rather leave something out than overstate it.
