Please provide the name of the dataset or describe the dataset that you're requesting:

Index of Singapore Acts and Subsidiary Legislation

Do you know which agency provides/can provide this data?

If there's an issue with a dataset, please provide a description of the problem

n/a

Please provide the fields expected in this dataset:

type short_title number url (document) last_amended_date status authorising_act
Act Accountants Act 2004 AA2004 https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/AA2004 2021-12-01 Current
SL [Accountants (Public Accountants) Rules Cap. 2, R 1 https://sso.agc.gov.sg/SL/AA2004-R1 2006-11-30 Current AA2004

Only current documents are needed for our use case, but for others, it may be important to include revoked/spent and uncommenced documents, in which case the status would be important to include.

How frequently would you need this dataset to be updated?

Can you give a short explanation on how you're planning to use this dataset?

We maintain a global library of laws and regulations to help our clients understand their legal obligations, particularly around matters of environment, health, and safety. Some countries provide APIs to access these lists, which makes it far easier for us to keep up with changes to the laws and regulations.

While we can obtain much of this information through the web site, having a dataset would make this process more automated, and would allow us to more easily "link" subsidiary legislation back to the authorising act.
