How to read this table
A posture of "verify" means this research could not confirm a requirement, never that there is none. An empty adopted-code cell means no adoption record could be read, never that the jurisdiction has adopted nothing. A service tag row reading "verify" means no tag rule was read for that jurisdiction, and there is no national tag standard to fall back on.
This table records what public sources say. It does not rule on your situation, and it is not legal advice. The agency named in each row is the one that answers, and your local authority having jurisdiction may require more than the state does.
