This dimension marks whether a statute is still in force, has been amended or has been repealed. Wikipedia notes that statutes are distinguished from "secondary legislation, or regulations," precisely because a statute carries the full force of law until a legislature changes it. Browsing by legal status separates statutes still governing today from those since repealed.
