Regulation watch

When a cited rule changes

Our tools cite 279 laws, rules and guidance pages, in their rule tables (code) and on their pages (copy). Every night a job reads 246 of them from the primary source and compares each with the version we read. When one changes, the tools that depend on it are marked re-check needed until a person reviews the change and signs an acknowledgement with a note. Nothing is edited automatically.

Registry built 2026-09-28, synced 2026-09-28. The live feed is GET https://api.decosa.ai/regulations/changes; the signed run report is /regulations/reports/latest. This is a change detector, not legal advice: a quiet night means no source we watch changed, not that a tool is correct.

How each source is read

  • U.S. regulations (110): the eCFR versioner API gives each section’s amendment dates and its text; we hash the text of the version we read and of the current one.
  • Federal Register (70 feeds): new final and proposed rules that affect a CFR part we cite, and later documents that cite a Federal Register document we cite, from the Federal Register API.
  • EU law (19): the Publications Office’s Cellar lists each act’s amending acts, corrigenda and consolidated versions.
  • Sanctions lists (4): the publish date in the header of the OFAC, EU and UK list files, against the snapshot the sanctions tool pins.
  • Official pages (86): agency guidance, statutes and bills, hashed after the page chrome (menus, banners, “last updated” stamps) is removed.

Tested by replaying known past changes from the version before them: the 2026 amendments to the federal IDR operations rule (45 CFR 149.510), a GPSR corrigendum, the AI Act’s 2026 amending act and an OFAC SDN update were all found, with no change reported on the unchanged controls. Details are in decosa-api docs/evals/reg-watcher.md.

By tool

What a person still checks

33 cited documents are frozen (court opinions, press releases, enforcement orders) or sit behind a bot check, so they are listed but not watched. 8 citations in the copy have no primary source we can watch (ISO standards are paywalled; a NIST publication changes by new revision; an enacted Public Law does not change, its U.S. Code sections do).
