Includes a date that is not historically accurate;

Has been installed at the wrong location.

If request to correct the marker is approved by the Commission,

THC Marker Staff will determine if existing marker requires replacement or if it can be corrected through the installation of a supplemental marker.
The cost of such correction shall be paid by the Commission, subject to the availability of funds for that purpose.
THC Marker Staff will write the replacement or supplemental text.

If the request is not approved,

The Commission will not accept subsequent requests or objections that are substantively similar to a request or objection that has already gone through the request process.
A request for review may only be filed against a single marker, and no individual or organization may file more than one request for review per calendar year.
