Statute Slices

Amendment and Version Slice

Version slices depend on effective and end dates. Honesty note: simplified statutory-data model; source text, version, and as-of date matter; the pinned first step states the as-of date; jurisdictions vary; not legal advice.

Statutory data honesty note

Honesty note: simplified statutory-data model; source text, version, and as-of date matter; as of June 24, 2026; jurisdictions vary; not legal advice; code encodes a stated structural model, not the law itself.

statutory data as of June24,2026\text{statutory data as of }June 24, 2026

Version slices depend on dates

The stated process compares effective and end dates against the as-of date. It does not decide which text governs a real dispute.

effective date plus end date plus as-of\text{effective date plus end date plus as-of}

Example old and new units

A new unit effective January 1, 2026 follows an old unit ending December 31, 2025.

new effective=January1,2026\text{new effective}=January 1, 2026

The as-of filter recomputes active rows

At the as-of date, the slice has 2 active units and 1 inactive unit.

active=2,inactive=1\text{active}=2,\quad \text{inactive}=1

Diagram note

The diagram shows active and inactive version rows for the toy model only. Source version must still be checked in real research.

Summary

Version slices are safer when old text, new text, effective dates, end dates, and as-of date are all visible.
