What justifies a registry update

1. A tracked policy hits a milestone (signed, enacted, partially applied, repealed).
2. A new framework lands at the federal or major-state level (EU member state implementation, US executive order, China measures).
3. A regulator publishes binding guidance that materially shifts compliance scope.
4. An enforcement action (fine, consent decree, lawsuit) establishes new precedent.

What does NOT justify a registry update

• Opinion columns about AI policy.
• Speculation about pending bills with low passage probability.
• Subnational guidance below state level (county / city ordinances rarely meet the bar).
• Industry self-regulation announcements (those are not policy in the registry sense).
