S_MT PASS-03 — Minimal provenance correction
This correction changes only the two overall PASS-02 session-date labels. All substantive findings, source/claim/coverage tables, examples, rule history, legal dates, model/mode provenance, prior PASS-01 access history, and unresolved holds remain unchanged.
| Location | Old text | Replacement text | Qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| PASS-02 header | Actual access date: October 24, 2026, Pacific | Actual access date: October 25, 2026, Pacific | The PASS-02 request was accepted at 2026-10-26T02:24:00.974Z, and the complete output was captured at 2026-10-26T02:35:12.427Z. Both occurred on October 25, 2026, in America/Los_Angeles. Exact individual source-fetch timestamps were not exposed and are not asserted. |
| PASS-02 §C3, public lookup route | “That the search-rendered list was successfully opened live on October 24, 2026.” | “That the search-rendered list was successfully opened live on October 25, 2026, Pacific.” | This remains a nonverification statement: PASS-02 did not establish that the live list was opened. The date correction does not imply otherwise. |
No legal, publication, adoption, amendment, effective, document-version, or prior PASS-01 date is changed. The actual model/mode and original saved files are unchanged.
The current official ARM 23.19.1001 and 23.19.1005 bodies; complete later amendment, exception, waiver, and indexing history; actual federal coverage; dedicated-account facts; contracts; named-provider authorization; operational approval; and all broader Montana dimensions remain held. Historical adoption evidence is not converted into full current-rule certification.
This is not an independent review and creates no Montana state, component, parent-dossier, A066, operational, or publication acceptance.

Find the assertion and its boundaries
Read the evidence with its boundaries. These are saved research components, including revisions. A scoped coordinator review checks selected evidence; it does not certify every claim, a complete jurisdiction, current law or individual applicability. Dates and access limits remain attached to the records.
Sources, pinpoints and access limits
Keep the source version, actual read extent and jurisdiction with the proposition. A link or researcher access claim is not a substitute for an operative primary passage.
What was examined—and what is still missing
The saved component-level coverage record keeps answered, partial, blank and unresolved branches distinct. A coverage label is not acceptance of a whole subject or jurisdiction.
Corrections, review and scope

No currently queued material correction is mapped to this component. This does not remove its currentness, access, jurisdiction or application limits.
