All legislative content comes from e-Laws, the official source of Ontario legislation under the Legislation Act, 2006, published by the King's Printer for Ontario. We poll the consolidated law index daily, sorted by newest effective date, and respect the site's published crawl-delay. New filings appear on e-Laws within two business days of filing; consolidated text updates within about a week.

A change event is recorded when a law's current-version effective date advances, its state changes (current → revoked), or a new instrument appears. For amendments we fetch the new and the immediately-previous consolidated version, normalize both to plain text, and compute a unified diff. Version pairs are reconciled by effective date, and identical text hashes are recorded as metadata-only events rather than amendments.

The plain-English headline and summary on each change page are written by an AI model whose only input is the computed diff plus the law's metadata. Summaries are labeled as AI-assisted everywhere they appear. A citation gate rejects any summary that introduces a regulation citation or date string not present in its input; rejected summaries are flagged and the page renders diff-only. Effective dates, citations, and version numbers on every page come from e-Laws metadata, never from the model.

Enacted reads consolidated law. Three known gaps: (1) instruments not yet consolidated may lag their filing by several days; (2) proclamations that bring statute provisions into force are published in the Ontario Gazette and are not yet captured; (3) very large instruments (such as the Building Code) may be summarized at section level only. We list what we skipped rather than pretending we caught it.

Enacted is a free public-good project by Mikias Abera, a Toronto engineer who builds AI systems for documents where being wrong is expensive. It is built nights and weekends, in public. The architecture (deterministic core, AI at the edges, verification gates) is documented in the open.
