Corrections
What we got wrong — and fixed, in public
LawLert’s whole promise is that the law we show you is sourced and current. Living up to that means re-checking rules against their official sources on a schedule — and sometimes those checks catch a rule that’s wrong or out of date. When that happens we fix it and log it here: what it said, what it says now, why, and the official source. Some errors we catch before they ever publish (a re-check found that Riverside, CA had legalized dispensaries in 2023, so we never loaded it as a ban); the ones below reached the app and were corrected. This page is deliberately public — a legal-information product that never admits a mistake isn’t one you should trust.
Think something is wrong or out of date? Email support@lawlertapp.com — we re-verify against the official source and correct the rule, its citation, and its verified date.
Illinois DOES have a 2026 sales-tax holiday — Aug 7–16
Illinois DOR bulletin FY 2026-30 read verbatim this run; the stored row predated the 2026 enactment.
Virginia "dry counties" reframed for the 2020 opt-out reform
The 2020 ABC reform reversed the old opt-in local-option regime and its savings clause preserved only referenda held within 5 years before 2019; the old nine-county dry list describes repealed law.
Metcalfe County, KY has been wet since 2016 — not "Completely Dry"
The county's own ordinance, hosted by KY ABC, recites the 2016 wet vote verbatim; our rows mirrored a pre-2016 wet/dry map.
Alabama patients may possess a 70-day supply; 60 days is the purchase cap
AMCC Chapter 538-X-2 PDF read verbatim; the stored summary conflated the purchase cap with the possession cap.
Vermont home-grow: 2 mature + 4 immature per dwelling — no "12 per household" cap exists
Statute text fetched verbatim from the Vermont Legislature; the removed clause was unsupported.
Vermont per-transaction purchase limit is now 2 oz of flower (July 1, 2026)
Vermont CCB transaction-limits statement (7/17/2026) states the increase verbatim; the prior Purchase Limit Guidance was retired.
Truckee River artificial-lures reach corrected to the codified NAC text
The codified regulation describes a single continuous reach with no Derby Dam gap; the prior wording mirrored a commercial regulations digest.
Virginia last call: 2 a.m. only where mixed beverages are authorized
3VAC5-50-30 sets 2 a.m.-6 a.m. restricted hours only in localities where mixed-beverage sales are authorized; 12 a.m.-6 a.m. applies everywhere else and to all off-premises sales.
Re-sourced OR Sunday liquor hours to OLCC (primary)
Citation-tier upgrade only; content verified against OLCC page 2026-08-02. No permissiveness change.
Re-sourced CT grocery beer permit to CGA official text
Citation-tier upgrade only; Sec. 30-20 confirmed present in CGA Chapter 545 official text 2026-08-02. No permissiveness change.
Iowa City sales tax corrected after a local-option tax took effect
A voter-approved LOST took effect July 1, 2026; the pre-effective row was stale. Corrected to 7%.
Switchblades corrected from “banned” to legal
Delaware's switchblade ban (11 Del. C. §1446) was repealed effective July 30, 2025 by SB 108; our earlier “banned” status was out of date.
Privacy citation corrected after renumbering
The Hawaii statute was renumbered by L 2024 c 161; the citation now points to the current section.
Critical-infrastructure penalty corrected upward
SL 2026 ch. 192 raised the penalty for unlawful drone operation over critical infrastructure to a Class 6 felony.
BUI corrected — Rhode Island does have a per-se BAC limit
An earlier note relied on §46-22-9 (impairment only); §46-22.2-3 sets a 0.08% per-se limit. Corrected.
Critical-infrastructure offense narrowed to the enacted text
Re-sourced to the enacting act and narrowed the summary to what the statute actually prohibits.
Concealed-carry classification corrected
The concealed-knife offense class was mislabeled; corrected to match the statute.
Hunting-with-drone basis corrected
§2308 doesn't name drones; the enforceable prohibition on hunting/scouting with drones is the Game Commission regulation. Reworded to the correct authority.
Cherokee County sales tax corrected upward
Cherokee County added a TSPLOST penny; the current GA DOR rate chart shows 7%. Corrected.
Window-tint rule corrected to the actual statute
The “top 4 inches” figure isn't in the California Vehicle Code; §26708 sets the 29-inch line. Corrected to the statute.
