Mechanisms

• Deadlock Breaker with Sunset
  • A well-formed sunset clause lets a temporary power exist precisely because it is guaranteed to end.
• Exception Expiry and Revalidation Calendar
  • Treating expiry as a scheduled event — a working sunset — rather than a hope is what keeps temporary from meaning forever.

    This sourceDescribes sunset laws as scheduled periodic termination unless a program or agency is affirmatively continued.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
