Policy Tracker Glossary

Addendum: NCCP has added the 50-State Longitudinal Policy Tracker, a collection of 50-State Policy Tracker data dating back to the tools’ inception in 2011. The tracker has evolved from a few policy dimensions in its infancy, into the robust collection of policy information today. The variation in sources over time for policy domains determines what information is, or is not, included in the longitudinal data.
