## Verification dates across the dataset

The same records counted by the day they were retrieved. A busy day usually means we re-verified a region after a regulator published a notice.

## How these updates are dated

Every change log is built from the verified records themselves, newest first, so each line has a source address and a retrieval date. The chart counts verified records as they were dated, and the table by date gives the same counts by day.

Some records carry a date from which they apply. That date comes from the source, not from us, and a date in the future means the rule is published but not yet in force. Bills are tracked separately from law: a bill creates no obligation, and its stage is recorded as of the date retrieved.

Each entry is dated by the day we retrieved its source, which is the day a person last confirmed the record against the primary document. It is not the date the rule changed. When a source changes, the record is re-verified and its date moves forward.

A record that is not yet published has no verified source. It is listed with the reason instead of a value, and it leaves that list the day a primary source is found. Subscribe to the feed to see entries as they are dated.

## Questions about EPR dataset updates

### <a id="faq-date"></a>What does the date next to a record mean?

It is the day we retrieved the source for that record and confirmed it. It is not the date the rule changed.

### <a id="faq-where"></a>Where do I see one place's changes?

Each row of the table links to that place's own change log, with its sources.

### <a id="faq-feed"></a>Is there a feed?

Yes. The page links an RSS feed for the whole dataset, and each place has its own.
