Has more than JUST those nine states. If you take a deeper dive - there are Counties within states (outside of those nine) that have restrictions as well as Cities within Counties. The Bronx is on that list. I have it at home.

It 'details' these 9 states in the case but has a far reaching impact on the entire country just focusing on the 9.

ETA - Justice Department Civil Rights Section has a complete list - It's Bronx County
