February 2021
We updated and reorganized our Maine Gun Laws section to make it more state specific and easier to use. This included updates to 15 questions in English! Spanish coming soon! We also added one related statute to our Maine Selected State Statutes section.
We updated all 14 questions in our Financial Abuse section in English and Spanish. For example, we added six more signs of abuse to What is financial abuse? What are the signs to look out for? plus we improved the information in the other questions as well.
We updated the contact information and description of services for three Local Programs in Minnesota.
We translated into Spanish the recent changes in the Washington Custody section.
