How do you decide something is new?
Our rule for this state, and its limits.
The state doesn't mark a license as new. License numbers start with a year, so we treat this year's numbers as new. We tested that on long-running firms, and they carry old years, but it's our reading and not a state definition.
We leave out out-of-state addresses, trade-name-only registrations, movers, sales reps and non-resident contractors. Dates fall on the first of a month more often than not, so we show when a row first appeared in the file.
