State authority automatically extends to Tribal APS |
Identify the precise public jurisdictional question before any separately authorized State/Tribal-law component. |

C009’s State-dependent adult category cannot be replaced by C010’s statutory elder age. S002, S011, S018. |

A later generic State APS eligibility statute/regulation inquiry; no person or program lookup. |

Preserve both C040–C042 formulations. S003, S010, S025. |
Authoritative reconciliation, trigger and counting rules |
Either an automatic original-receipt deadline or blanket permission to ignore timing |

| R079-P1-B023 — Effective/compliance date |
Apply C002’s separate dates. S010, S024–S025. |
Actual implementation and any later change |
Effectiveness proves full implementation, or future compliance means no adopted rule exists |
Check later public amendments or date corrections. |
| R079-P1-B024 — Corrective transition |
C088 describes a conditional preamble process, not an automatic extension. S010. |
Later generic process instructions and any approval, latter held |

Examine the specific later legal instrument, not a page timestamp. |
| R079-P1-B027 — Current original/history gap |

Keep those components separate; formulate a generic legal question before researching another regime. |
