The citation spine · Checked October 22, 2026
One table, every state: the license, the published fee, the bond, the timeline, the gates, and how each row was verified. This dataset generates the checker, the state pages and the cost tables on this site — so the site cannot contradict itself. It is maintained on a quarterly sweep; a cell that cannot be re-verified gets marked down, never left to rot.

"Not published" means the state does not publish the figure on its licensing pages — we print the gap rather than fill it from blogs or consultancy tables. "Checked in part" states carry the same honesty on their own pages.
