How to report something
Use the contact form and include the page, what is wrong, and if possible a link to the statute or agency page that shows the correct position. A source makes a correction much faster because it can be verified immediately.
What happens next
Reports about a legal deadline are treated as urgent because people act on them.
- We verify the report against primary sources.
- If it is correct, the record is updated and a dated entry is added to that record's change history, visible on the page.
- If a rule turns out to have changed rather than simply being recorded wrong, we recheck every other state record affected by the same kind of change.
- If we cannot verify the report either way, we lower the record's confidence level and say what is in dispute rather than leaving it looking settled.
Attorneys and agencies
If you are a licensed attorney or work for a licensing agency and something here misstates your state's process, please tell us. We will correct it, and if you are willing to be named as a reviewer for that state we will disclose the relationship on the record itself.
