These changes are outlined below.  For real-time document and compliance updates, subscribe to our [compliance blog](https://compliance.docutech.com/). **Document Changes** As always, our compliance experts were hard at work checking our library against any changes made by the states or regulators that require updates to our documents. The changes have been summarized below with links to the full descriptions of the updates. - After a review of state lock agreements, we have made updates to documents for Washington, New York and California. These documents now conform with signature requirements and eSignature functionality.
