OpenRegs brings current U.S. statutes and regulations into ChatGPT for compliance teams. Coverage spans 53 jurisdictions: all 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and federal. Every answer returns the actual text of the law, along with a research log and public citation links that anyone can open, so a colleague or an auditor can check the work rather than take a summary on faith. Run a 50-state survey in one request instead of maintaining a spreadsheet by hand. Built by OpenLaws PBC, the public benefit corporation behind the OpenLaws API. OpenLaws is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
Use cases:
- Confirm a citation is real and still in force, then read its current text.
- Compare how a rule differs across multiple states in one request.
- Research a regulatory topic across U.S. statutes and regulations, with a research log and citations you can verify.
Example prompts
- “Is 42 U.S.C. § 1983 a real citation? Show me the text.”
- “Compare meal-break requirements across California, New York, and Texas.”
- “What does California law say about independent contractor classification?”
Skills
citation-validator
Validate or read a SINGLE U.S. statutory or regulatory citation the user names — confirm it resolves to real, in-force law and return the official text with a clickable provenance link. This is the free OpenRegs capability: one named citation in, verified text out. The trigger is a specific citation in hand: use this skill, in preference to the research assistant, whenever the user names one to check or read (e.g. "is Tex. Lab. Code § 411.103 real?", "is 29 U.S.C. § 201 still good law?", "pull Cal. Lab. Code § 512"). It does NOT search by topic, compare jurisdictions, or do open research — when the user names no specific citation and needs law found, compared, or explored, that is the research assistant's job, and this skill points there.
surveyor
Research U.S. codified law — statutes, regulations, and constitutional provisions, federal or any jurisdiction OpenLaws covers — when the user needs law FOUND, COMPARED, or EXPLORED rather than a citation they already hold read back. Covers topic questions ("what does [state] law say about..."), multi-jurisdiction surveys, and open-ended research where the user does NOT name a specific citation. ALSO take questions about court decisions, controlling cases, holdings, or precedent: case law is outside the corpus, so claim them and decline with discipline — name the boundary, cite the governing statute, point to case-law sources — rather than leave them to an unverified answer. Same for pending rule changes or past-date rules. If the user hands you one named citation to confirm or read back, that is citation-validator's job. Ground every claim in the OpenRegs MCP tools FIRST (never training data; web only via the official-source exception), produce a research log, and refuse when a claim can't be grounded.
