What the dates mean
The initial facts and dates come from the accepted November 13, 2026 T1 verification report. Mockup text is not a data source. Later source checks can detect changed text; a successful HTTP response alone does not establish that a law's status or dates have been re-verified.
Legal effectiveness, operative duties, reporting deadlines, and enforcement commencement are separate fields. Colorado's replacement AI regime is tracked with main duties beginning January 1, 2027, as recorded in T1. Colorado primary source.
Legal status and field verification
Legal status describes the law: pending, enacted with future duties, or in force. It is independent of uncertainty about a threshold, coverage detail, penalty, date or obligation. An in-force law remains Enacted / in force when a detail needs review.
- Verified: the report established the specific fact against the linked primary record.
- Needs review: the affected field is labeled Unverified with its qualification; other accepted fields keep their status.
- Unverified: that particular value has not been established. An unverified date cannot generate a verified calendar deadline; it does not turn an enacted law into a pending bill.
Sources and refresh
Source adapters cover the Federal Register, Regulations.gov, CourtListener, and configured state legislative or agency sources. NCSL is a discovery source; a primary law or agency record supplies publication evidence. Some services require API credentials or limit access.
The source-check pipeline can record fetch results and identify changed content. Automatic daily checking is not active on this review site. Changed facts enter review rather than silently replacing T1. Approved changes record history and can queue matching alerts. The displayed “Last verified” date changes only when a factual review supports it.
State coverage
Every state page separates state-specific research from federal baseline rules. A federal rule's inclusion does not establish that it covers every business in that state. Applicability remains tied to the activity and organization described by the primary source.
The current state-specific inventory is partial. Pages with only federal baseline research are marked as incomplete and excluded from search indexing. No missing record is interpreted as “no applicable law.” Employment data is reconciled internally; its public section is outside Phase 1.
Factual summaries
Each rule page links its summaries, dates, and applicability facts to primary sources. Automated summary candidates must retain those citations and cannot supply unsupported dates, penalties, or advice. Unresolved values are labeled in their own fields; the law’s status is supported and displayed separately.
Corrections and changes
Source version changes, verification decisions, and edition differences are recorded with stable rule identifiers. The public changelog distinguishes seed reconciliation from later approved changes. A new download edition is a dated snapshot, not a promise that a past file stays current.
