What has been read, and what has not

A rule read in one state is a fact about that state. Where a state has not been read, this page says so and gives the reason. It will never show you another state's rule.

49 of 52 jurisdictions read at an official source.

Every jurisdiction, one page each

Each page carries only what was read for that state, with the citation and the date. A state that has not been read says so on its own page, and says why.

ArkansasNot read yetNOT READ. The legislature does not publish the code itself: its own link leaves the site, after an exit warning, for a commercial publisher. The courts' site is unreachable at the TCP layer from this network (connection refused on ports 80 and 443), not blocked by user-agent filtering. A portal of administrative rules exists but codifies AGENCY rules, not the law sought: wrong body, deliberately set aside. Five official routes measured, all dead. To be retried from a different network.

NevadaNot read yetHARD GAP - Cloudflare edge block on the entire leg.state.nv.us domain from this network. Measured: GET https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-007.html -> HTTP 403, 4,551 bytes (1,750 bytes gzipped); extracted body text is the Cloudflare interstitial only: 'Attention Required! | Cloudflare ... Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access leg.state.nv.us'. Real-browser attempt returned the same page with Cloudflare Ray ID a31edcfa9a5e3189. Identical 403/4,551-byte response for the bare host https://leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-007.html, for the lowercase path, for https://leg.state.nv.us/Division/Legal/LawLibrary/NRS/NRS-007.html, and for the court-rules path https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Division/Legal/LawLibrary/CourtRules/RPC.html. No statutory text was ever returned, so NRS 7.285 is NOT confirmed and no citation is recorded. Alternate official hosts tested and rejected: nelis.leg.state.nv.us and law.nv.gov both fail to connect (HTTP 000); nvcourts.gov is reachable (HTTP 200) but hosts no rule text - its own Self-Help Center page https://selfhelp.nvcourts.gov/self-help/getting-started/researching-the-law/court-rules (HTTP 200, 32,565 bytes) links the Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct OFF-SITE to leg.state.nv.us/Division/Legal/LawLibrary/CourtRules/RPC.html, confirming leg.state.nv.us is the sole official text host; the ADKT 445 amendment page returned HTTP 404 (149,026-byte site 404 template). Every non-blocked hit for NRS 7.285 was an aggregator (Justia, FindLaw, shouselaw, lawserver) and was therefore not used. Retry from a different network egress IP.

New MexicoNot read yetHARD GAP - CAPTCHA. Before I could download the Chapter 36 PDF, nmonesource.com's Lexum 'robocop' bot protection engaged and now returns HTTP 403 with a 290-byte body for EVERY path on the site, including the URL that had worked minutes earlier: the body is <iframe ... src="/robocop/captcha/en/query.do?path=%2Fnmos%2Fnmsa%2Fen%2F4363%2F1%2Fdocument.do&ip=173.179.194.40" ... title="Norma Content">. Loading it in a real browser renders a Lexum CAPTCHA image with a 'Response' text box and an 'ok' button, over the text 'You are accessing a web site that utilizes Lexum's Decisia technology... please proceed with the captcha test below'. I did NOT complete the CAPTCHA (bypassing bot detection is out of bounds), so no statutory text was ever seen and NO citation is recorded - N.M. Stat. Ann. 36-2-27 is a plausible target but is UNCONFIRMED and must not be used. A retry with a fresh IP and NO parallel requests (the burst is what tripped it) should succeed. Also blocked from Anthropic's egress: WebFetch on the same URL returned HTTP 403 independently. Alternate official sources exhausted: nmcourts.gov, www.nmcourts.gov and selfhelp.nmcourts.gov ALL fail DNS resolution from this network ('connection timed out; no servers could be reached'), so the NMRA court rules (e.g. Rule 24-101 NMRA) were unreachable too; mobile.nmonesource.com does not resolve; the direct-PDF pattern https://www.nmonesource.com/w/nmos/Chapter-36-NMSA-1978-<year>.pdf returns HTTP 404 (125-byte JSON) for every year 2018-2026 although the same pattern exists for Chapter 37. Every readable hit for 36-2-27 was an aggregator (Justia, FindLaw) and was therefore not used.
