Regulations change. Your pages don't.
StatuteData maintains a structured, cited record for all fifty states and the District of Columbia. Every field carries the source it came from, the date that source was read, and a verification status.
“No person shall use any silencer on any firearm when hunting.”
A national retailer's Connecticut page states the opposite. The governing section is eleven words long and admits no exception. Verification here required reading it.
“…in the sum of $30,000 if the applicant is a general contractor or $15,000 if the applicant is a specialty contractor.”
A surety marketplace still lists the superseded $12,000 figure. General contractor bonds went from $12,000 to $30,000, and specialty from $6,000 to $15,000, on 1 July 2024. The amount was never in dispute. Nobody had gone back to look.
- Verified
- Supported by the cited primary source, read directly, on the stated retrieval date.
- Contradicted
- Inconsistent with the cited source. Applied only where the source text is unambiguous, and reviewed by a person before it is issued.
- Stale
- Accurate at a prior retrieval date. The source has since changed, and the record has not yet been re-resolved.
- Unverified
- No primary source resolves the question. The field is left empty and marked. It is never filled by inference or completed from a secondary summary.
Federal requirements are stored once and joined rather than duplicated, so a change at the federal layer reaches every jurisdiction at the same moment. Where a state devolves authority to municipalities, the state position is resolved and the local position is marked unverified.
Audit. A review of published claims against primary sources, returned as a discrepancy schedule with citations and severity ranking. See the format.
Records. Maintained jurisdiction records as versioned files or bulk export, with a change log per jurisdiction.
API. Query a jurisdiction, product and activity; receive a decision with citations attached. Past decisions can be replayed against the dataset version that produced them.
Audits are fixed price and delivered whole. Send the pages you want checked, or the jurisdictions they cover, and you will get back a scope and a price.
This is not legal advice. StatuteData reports what identified sources say, and where those sources disagree. It does not reach conclusions about what any person or business may lawfully do.
Nor is it a system of record. It supplies inputs and evidence. Determinations remain with the client and their counsel.
