The reader’s problem
Finding a law is only the start when later legislation changes its articles.
What changed
The amendment work introduced records for the amending text, the affected provision, the kind of change and the resulting version. That lets an article carry its history rather than silently presenting one undated block of wording.
Using the feature
The public database exposes amendment and article-version tables. On a legal page, follow the linked amending text and read the operative provision itself. The history helps explain why a displayed version differs from the original publication.
Reading the evidence
The process copies legal wording from recorded sources. Model-assisted checking can help identify whether a change is already reflected, but it is not a licence to invent replacement wording. Effective dates, unresolved changes and source gaps still require attention when assessing which version to use.
