PASS-02 overstated what its official-source chain proved. The **introduced/pre-filed A3489 text**, **S1310 second-reprint text**, and **two-line current-statutes root/version label** authenticate what those documents reproduce, propose, and label. They do **not**, by themselves, authenticate the target §§17:16G-2 and 17:16G-6 as current on October 24, 2026, establish that A3489 had no later movement, or complete the enactment/final-action chain needed to prove that no intervening amendment became law.\n\nPASS-03 therefore **downgrades rather than closes** those issues. No contrary enactment is asserted.\n\n## A. Exact PASS-02 old-claim patch map\n\n| PASS-02 claim | Correction |\n| --- | --- |\n| **S_NJ-P2-C003** | **Downgrade.** Old wording—“No material 2026 enacted amendment adding ordinary for-profit debt adjusters to current §17:16G-2 was verified; A3489 is expressly introduced/pending, not enacted”—went too far insofar as it implied closure through October 24. Replace with: **“The checked official A3489 introduced-version text proposed adding for-profit debt adjusters to the §17:16G-2 baseline reproduced in that bill. No enacted amendment affecting §17:16G-2 was verified in the bounded official sources actually read in PASS-02. The current October 24, 2026 section text and complete 2026 amendment/final-action chain remain unresolved.”** |\n| **S_NJ-P2-C005** | **Downgrade.** Replace “proposal language rather than authenticated current law” as a current-law conclusion with: **“A3489's introduced version presents proposed §17:16G-6(d) language. That document alone does not establish the October 24, 2026 status of the target section or prove no later bill movement/enactment.”** |\n| **S_NJ-P2-C006** | **Partially retain / materially narrow.** PASS-02 did establish from the Legislative Digest that **S1310 passed both houses and was sent to the Governor**. Delete the further inference that “no resulting amendment … became authenticated current law” based on the later A3489 introduction and statutes-root metadata. Replace with: **“S1310 passed both houses and was sent to the Governor. PASS-02 did not obtain the complete official gubernatorial/final-action/enactment record needed to determine from primary sources whether its proposed amendments became law or otherwise failed.”** |\n| **S_NJ-P2-C010** | **Withdraw closure language.** Replace “the current §§2/-6 authentication gap … is materially narrowed/resolved” with: **“PASS-02 added official bill-text evidence reproducing baseline language and identifying historical source citations, but it did not authenticate the complete current October 24, 2026 text of §§17:16G-2/-6. The direct-current-text and amendment-chain gaps remain open.”** |\n\n## B. Opening conclusions corrected\n\nThe following PASS-02 conclusions are withdrawn or narrowed:\n\n- **Withdraw:** that the current §17:16G-2 baseline was authenticated sufficiently to close the current-law question.\n- **Withdraw:** that no material 2026 enacted amendment affecting §§17:16G-2/-6 was established from the combination of A3489, S1310, and the statutes-root update label.\n- **Withdraw:** that current §§17:16G-2/-6 were substantively authenticated even though only bill reproductions plus root-version metadata were read.\n- **Retain:** S1310's official status as **passed by both houses and sent to the Governor**, because that was directly shown in the Legislative Digest.\n- **Retain only as bill-document evidence:** A3489's introduced text and S1310R2's reproduced/proposed language.\n- **Retain:** no contrary enactment was found in the bounded PASS-02 sources. That is a **negative bounded finding**, not proof of absence.\n\nNo new search is being represented here as having closed those gaps.\n\n# C.
