Your state may set a lower limit
7 of the states we have read set the threshold itself below the federal one: OR, CA, VT, LA, AK, DE, OH.
5 more are strict in a different way — NC, MO, NV, NJ, RI keep the federal numbers but add a separate filing or cover more chemicals. Those are not the same thing, and we do not call them the same thing.
Where we have not read a state’s own code, we say so rather than guess.
