| Notes on how the row was compiled | not re-fetched; value from a search extract of the official page. The FAQ page returned HTTP 404 on direct fetch; figures come from a search extract of the Secretary of State FAQ and application form (four-year term, no surety bond required, $40 application fee, exam, age 18, residency). Training is null because the extract did not separate a course requirement from the exam. Not found, so null: fee caps, RON status and fee cap. |
