It has occurred to me that this kind of bills should be automatically parsable and convertible to a diff. Hence, a collection of amended acts should, in principle, be convertible to a Git repository.
The existing systems that cost heavy money probably already support something like this. But it still would be awesome to be able to do `git bisect` or `git log -S` on such a repo.
In Poland, bills that amend laws are formed in a rigid way. They consist of a long list of recitals like:
"article such-and-such is amended to 'new text goes here'"
or
"after article 1.2.3, article 1.2.3a is hereby inserted with the following content: 'text goes here'"
(random example: http://prawo.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/download.xsp/WDU2019000180...).
