Note:

Tis report was prepared with the best inorma-tion available at the time o writing. We welcome any new inormation and comments as we strive tomake each edition o Freeing the Grid as accurate and up-to-date as possible. Any errors or omissions are the responsibility o the authors.Some o the state data and grades rom past years were updated. Tus, the scores and grades in this editionmay not always agree with what was published in previous editions o this report. In a reassessment o what constituted “statewide policies,” we determined that some state policies that were graded in the past did not meet regulatory merit. As such, some states that were graded in past editions did not receive a grade in this edition.
