Corrections

A traceable process for reporting transcription, page-link, provenance, accessibility, or presentation errors.

01 / REPORT

Report an extraction or presentation issue

The Independent Illinois Offense Code Reference project accepts reports at https://github.com/kirbyjosh28/offense-code-index/issues. The owner targets an initial response within 10 business days, but this is not an emergency or legal-support channel.

Reports should identify only the displayed offense code, source page, observed issue, and authoritative supporting source. Do not include names, plates, identifiers, case details, narratives, PII, or CJI. Tracker submissions may be public.

02 / REVIEW

Verify before changing the corpus

Every proposed correction must be compared with the versioned source artifact and exact source page. Corpus changes require a documented content owner, independent review, test reconciliation, approval reference, release note, and new artifact checksum.

03 / SAFETY

Disable questionable content when necessary

A credible provenance, rights, affiliation, accuracy, privacy, accessibility, or security issue may require a record or the entire lookup to be marked review-due, superseded, or disabled. Questionable content should not remain available merely to preserve uptime.

04 / SCOPE

Corrections do not update the law

This process addresses the website’s extraction and presentation. It cannot amend the source publication, Illinois law, court rules, or agency policy. Questions about an external publication must be directed to its publisher.
