Hyperlinks in Electronically Filed Documents
A hyperlink is an icon or highlighted text inserted in a document that connects one point
of electronic data to another, permitting retrieval of the target data when activated.
Electronically filed documents may contain hyperlinks to other portions of the same document
or hyperlinks to a location on the Internet that contains a source document cited by the filing
party.
Hyperlinks to cited authority may not replace standard legal citation format. Complete
citations must be included in the text of the filed document. Neither a hyperlink, nor any site to
which it refers, shall be considered part of the Court record. The proper technical functionality
of any hyperlink is the exclusive responsibility of the filing party.
(New Rule added October 7, 2005, effective November 14, 2005)

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
