Legal Timetable

Introduction

The Legal Timetable provides summaries of legal and regulatory developments at the federal, state and municipal level, with confirmed implementation dates. It allows you to filter by state, keyword or phrase to access and track the legal developments you need to remain compliant. The Legal Timetable also provides a chronological view of legal developments based on your preferred state selections and/or filtered results.

You can easily find the Legal Timetable from the Resource Types menu by using the navigation bar at the top of every page. Select Resource Types > Legal Timetable. This will bring you to the Legal Timetable resource page.

The Legal Timetable is organized using two tabs:

  • Upcoming: laws that have a future implementation date; and
  • Implemented: laws that have passed, typically in the last 18 months.

You can toggle between views by clicking on either the Upcoming or Implemented tab. The tab you are viewing is prominently displayed, as indicated in the screenshot below.

Filter the Legal Timetable by entering a state name, such as California or other keyword or phrase, such as paid sick leave or ban the box. Simply enter your term in the bar located just above the table.

Your filtered results are returned to you in chronological order, organized under the three tabs. The amount of results returned under each tab is listed.

To remove the filter and refresh the table to its original state simply click on the "X" icon to the left of the magnifying glass.

When you are logged in, the Legal Timetable will list only those items that match your state preferences along with items that are not tagged with a state. You can change your state preferences at any time.
