# Pass 20 — Legal release holds and scope

Date: November 3, 2026. This pass addressed **layout and appeal-warning consistency**, not a fresh full legal audit of all statutory clauses. All notices are working drafts, not attorney certified.

- **All states:** Independent current statute, regulation, case-law, agency-policy, and attorney review required before represented as approved legal forms.

**Mandatory warning added to every notice:** A limited nonconsent notice does not file an appeal, hearing request, grievance, or court petition; it does not pause deadlines. Always use the specific decision notice and legally required procedures.
