What matters now
- eCFR pages display two different currency dates, not one.
- The pages label one date 'up to date as of' and the other 'last amended.'
- eCFR calls its content 'authoritative but unofficial.'
- A 'view historical versions' control appears beside the label on the cited Title 22 page.
The cited Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR) pages for Title 8 and Title 22 each display two differently labeled dates: an “up to date as of” date and a “last amended” date.
Those same pages also label their own content “authoritative but unofficial” and place a “view historical versions” control next to that label.

Key points
- eCFR’s banner gives two separately labeled dates: an “up to date as of” date and a “last amended” date.
- The Title 8 page reports it is up to date as of 9/03/2026, with the title’s text last amended 8/31/2026. (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8)
- The Title 22 page (Part 22, Section 22.1) reports the same up-to-date-as-of date, 9/03/2026, but a different last-amended date, 8/30/2026. (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-22/section-22.1)
- eCFR labels this content “authoritative but unofficial.” (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-22/section-22.1)
- A “view historical versions” control sits next to that label. (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-22/section-22.1)
“Up to date as of” label
The Title 8 page states: “Displaying title 8, up to date as of 9/03/2026” (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8), and the Title 22 page states: “Displaying title 22, up to date as of 9/03/2026” (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-22/section-22.1).
Both cited pages display the same date after the “up to date as of” label. The pages do not define the operational meaning of that label beyond the displayed wording.
The “last amended” label
The Title 8 page states “Title 8 was last amended 8/31/2026” (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8), and the Title 22 page states “Title 22 was last amended 8/30/2026” (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-22/section-22.1). These displayed dates differ from each other and from the “up to date as of” date on the same pages.
The “unofficial” label
Beyond the two currency dates, eCFR also labels how its own content should be treated.
Directly beneath the currency banner on the Title 22 page, eCFR states: “This content is from the eCFR and is authoritative but unofficial.” (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-22/section-22.1). Next to that statement, the page offers a “view historical versions” control. (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-22/section-22.1)
This article reports only the labels, dates, and control displayed on the cited eCFR pages. It does not interpret what Title 8 or Title 22 mean or require, define the operational effect of either date, or apply a particular amendment to any reader’s situation.
