- No HTTP-403 access barrier was encountered for any Iowa HHS or Iowa Legislature primary source during this pack's research — a genuine contrast with this roster's Oklahoma, Louisiana, Virginia, Indiana, Missouri, Maryland, Colorado, South Carolina, Alabama, and Kentucky packs, each of which found at least one blocked primary host. The Public Health Law Center's state-specific drug-felony opt-out map page (publichealthlawcenter.org/resources/snap-ban-opt-out-states-map/ia) DID return a clean HTTP 403 to direct curl with a browser User-Agent — consistent with this roster's now-familiar pattern of certain third-party legal-aggregator sites blocking automated fetches — resolved via this pack's own direct primary-source read (Iowa's Employees' Manual ineligible-member list and citizenship-status statement) rather than the blocked secondary source, a stronger resolution than most of this roster's prior 403-workarounds achieved. This pack's most consequential finding is not an access barrier but a genuine cross-chapter STALENESS discrepancy within Iowa's own primary sources (see Finding 1) — disclosed explicitly, not silently resolved by picking one chapter's figures over another's.
