Uniform Unsworn Foreign Declarations Act

The section titles you gave me are not from the Uniform Unsworn Foreign Declarations Act. They describe habeas corpus procedure — who may petition for the writ, production of the prisoner, return and traverse, discharge or remand, bail, attachment for disobedience — with a short mandamus tail at the end. That combination (habeas corpus running into mandamus) looks like a contiguous run of sections lifted from an extraordinary-writs chapter of a state code, which is a mis-join, not a thin-titles problem. I'm not going to write the overview from those titles. Doing so would put a habeas corpus description on all six states' Unsworn Foreign Declarations Act pages, and the rules you set (only assert what the titles support) would force the text toward the wrong subject entirely. Here is the correct general overview for the act, written to your constraints — but note it comes from the act's actual subject matter, **not** from the titles you supplied: This act allows a person located outside the United States to satisfy a requirement for a sworn affidavit or notarized statement by signing an unsworn declaration made under penalty of perjury, giving that declaration the same legal effect as one taken under oath. It prescribes the form of the declaration and the statement of truthfulness it must contain, and it excepts certain instruments — including depositions, oaths of office, and self-executing documents such as wills, deeds, and powers of attorney — which still require a formal oath. Two things worth chasing before this ships to the other five states' pages: - **The mis-join is probably systemic.** If one act's page pulled a wrong contiguous section range, others likely did too. Worth checking whether the join is on a fragile key (title/chapter offset, name-similarity match) rather than a stable act↔section identifier. - **The chapter boundary is a useful tell.** The mandamus titles at the tail mean the extraction window crossed from one chapter into the next, which points at a range/offset bug rather than a bad lookup. Want me to trace where the section titles for the named-act pages come from and find the actual defect?
