Know the state of every rule you answer to.
Federal requirements move. Sections are rewritten, dates shift, and the paperwork that satisfied a surveyor last year is written against a version of the rule that no longer exists. The tracker below lists every federal part ComplyWell watches, the date each one was last amended on the eCFR, and a link straight to the official text.
The most recent reviewed update.
Each alert names the citation, what moved, who it reaches and the official source it came from. An alert appears here once it has been read and approved by a person.
Educational content. ComplyWell organizes and surfaces requirements; it does not provide legal advice, and a formal interpretation of any rule should come from a qualified professional.

Thirteen federal parts, the date the eCFR records for the most recent amendment to each, and a link straight to the official text. This is the current state of every regulation ComplyWell watches — filter it by topic, industry, issuing authority or the year a part last changed.
| Status | Citation | Part | Authority | Citations in this part | Last amended | Official text |
|---|
No parts match those filters.
Verification date shown for every part: 26 August 2026. Each morning the last recorded amendment date for every part is read from the official eCFR versioner API and compared against the date already on record. The check is deterministic — an exact comparison of two dates — and a part is only reported as changed when those two dates differ. Status reads In effect because each row describes the current published version of the regulation.
How to use regulatory updates well.
How often should we review our requirements?
Treat it as two different rhythms. Watch for change continuously — federal parts are amended on no fixed calendar, and an amendment can land in any week of the year. Review your own policies and forms against those requirements on a set schedule, usually annually, and again whenever a part your policies are written against shows a new amendment date.
Most agencies find the annual review goes quickly when change has been tracked all year, and painfully slowly when it has not.
Does every part in the tracker apply to every agency?
No. 42 CFR 494 reaches dialysis facilities and nobody else. 45 CFR 164 reaches every covered entity regardless of care setting. Some amendments are technical corrections that change no obligation at all.
That is why the tracker names the issuing authority and lets you filter by industry. Narrow to your setting first, then read the official text at the citation.
What should we do when a requirement changes?
Start with the official text at the citation, not with a summary. Then work outward: identify which of your policies, forms, workflows and training modules reference that section; decide what has to be reworded and what has to be retrained; assign each item an owner and a date; and keep a record of when you made the change and why.
That record is what turns a change into evidence you can show a surveyor rather than a change you hope nobody asks about.
Does ComplyWell interpret regulations for us?
ComplyWell organizes and surfaces requirements. It tracks the parts your obligations are written against, tells you when one of them moves, points you at the official source, and shows which of your tracked requirements reference it.
Formal interpretation — what a specific amendment requires of your specific organization, and what your legal exposure is — needs a qualified professional. Everything published here is educational content and is not legal advice.
