Taiwan’s national statutes and the Constitution — full text in Chinese, plus the Ministry of Justice’s own official English translation where one exists — searchable by title, resolvable by exact citation, and readable one provision at a time.

Tools

• tw_law_search(query, limit?) — find a law by title keyword, Chinese or English (“個人資料保護法”, “Personal Data Protection”, “民法”).
• tw_law_info(pcode?, name?) — a law’s full metadata: level, category, official English title if any, repeal status, the last amendment date and the date that amendment takes/took legal effect as SEPARATE fields, and the promulgation history (Chinese, and English when translated).
• tw_law_toc(pcode?, name?, offset?, limit?) — a law’s chapter/section structure and article numbers, paged.
• tw_law_article(pcode?, name?, article) — one article’s full text, Chinese plus the official English translation when the Ministry has published one, labelled official.

Data sources

• Taiwan Ministry of Justice, Laws & Regulations Database (全國法規資料庫) — the Chinese text of every national statute and the Constitution, plus the Ministry’s own official English translations for the subset it has translated (973 of 1,351 laws as of the 2026-10-15 load).

The source publishes its whole catalog only as two bulk exports (Chinese, English), never a per-law or per-article live route — confirmed 2026-10-15. Per Bruce’s 2026-09-23 local-copy ruling, this pack reads from a D1 copy loaded by scripts/tw-law/load-data.mjs, refreshed by re-running that script. data_as_of on every response is when that load last ran.

Licence: 政府資料開放授權條款-第1版 (Government Open Data Licence v1), the licence the source’s own data-reuse declaration (law.moj.gov.tw/Service/Copyright.aspx) names — free, non-exclusive, re-licensable, and explicitly permits reproduction, adaptation and public transmission (a mirror, not only a live proxy), conditioned on citing the source. Every response carries source.

English translations are tied to the exact Chinese version

Chinese and English are two separate bulk exports from the same publisher, joined by this pack’s loader at load time, by law title and then by article number (normalizing “第 6-1 條” / “Article 6-1” / “6-1” to the same key) — never machine-translated, never guessed. An article with no official translation returns eng_content: null and has_official_english_translation: false rather than a translation that doesn’t exist. A law can gain or lose an official translation between loads; tw_law_info/tw_law_search report has_official_english_translation as of the current data_as_of.

Notes

• tw_law_search is a TITLE search — it will not find a law by a phrase that appears only inside an article’s text.
• Article numbering is not always contiguous: amendments can delete an article or insert a sub-article (“第 1-1 條” after “第 1 條”). Use tw_law_toc to see a law’s real article numbers rather than assuming 1..N.
• effective_date and last_amended_date are tracked separately because Taiwanese statutes are routinely amended on one date and brought into force on another (sometimes “date to be set later by the Executive Yuan” — surfaced as effective_date_pending: true, with the full effective_note explaining which provisions are affected).

Tools

• tw_law_search — Find a Taiwan law by title (Chinese or English).
• tw_law_info — One Taiwan law’s metadata: level, category, amendment vs. effective dates, repeal status, promulgation history.
• tw_law_toc — A Taiwan law’s chapter structure and article numbers, paged.
• tw_law_article — One article of a Taiwan law, Chinese plus the official English translation when one exists.
