This is the current version, v1.1. Earlier versions stay available, and their records never change.

Versions: v1.0, v1.1 · current

What changed in this version

This version supersedes version v1.0 (LD12-HQ-C11--v1.0), which stays available with its record unchanged.

Changed fields: 2 PUBLIC-FACING CLAIM; 25 RECORDED DATE
What changed: The public-facing claim now says the order directed Commerce to condition some non-deployment BEAD funding, to the maximum extent allowed by law, on the absence of state AI laws identified as onerous, instead of saying the order itself "tied eligibility" to state AI-law conditions.
Why: A claim check on 13 October 2026 found that version 1.0 stated as done what the order only directed, and dropped the legal-limits hedge; the HQ primary read of the order records the direction to Commerce and the "to the maximum extent allowed by law" wording. The check and this revision were done by AI agents against the HQ notes, not by a person.
