Definition of Policy Tags

Sections and Sub-sections of policy have labels that reflect: Agency Content, Best Practice, Discretionary, State or Federal. There is also an additional label that appears after a section has been edited that reflects: Modified (i.e. ). A brief description of each label:

Agency Content – Content that is produced by the Agency or if the section has been manipulated past being recognized as Lexipol Content, the label will change to “Agency Content”. (Agencies should be careful with modifying content to this extent as the Lexipol Updates will no longer be delivered).

Best Practice – Content that is derived from Lawsuits. No Law governs these sections.

Discretionary – Content that may or may not be applicable to the Agency. This is more of “common sense” content but is up to the Agency if they want to use it.

State – State Law or State Court Decisions, Post Regulation or Mandate from the State.

Federal – Content that is Constitutional or Federal Case Law driven.

Note: The Modified label will appear any time the section of policy is entered, and any keystroke occurs. If the change is not warranted the only way to remove the label is to revert the section to the previous version or revert the changes on the entire policy. (See Reverting Changes)
