Well it is currently updated.

We actually just went through an update So we'll be posting that, I would say, in the next month or so.
1:12:42
It's every couple of years.
1:12:44
It reflects federal law and state law changes and really tries to be responsive to the moment.
1:12:52
So for example, in our new guidance, we will be talking about technology used by employers which may lead to discrimination based on disabilities and adding new content like that.
1:13:05
But every few years is really when we update our legal enforcement guidance and other materials are updated either when facts or law change.
1:13:13
So the legal enforcement guidance are our lengthiest, most legal document.

Other things are updated at a faster clip.
