This dimension marks whether a regulation is currently in force, has been amended or has been revoked. Wikipedia notes that regulation is "adopted to enforce primary legislation," and like the statute behind it a regulation can later be withdrawn or replaced. Browsing by legal status separates regulations still in force from those no longer active.
