Effective date unknown (2)

2 changes recorded during May 18–24, 2026 have no known effective date. Each is dated the day we recorded it, not the day its terms took effect, so none is counted as a change that took effect during May 18–24, 2026. Where archived copies of the vendor's page bracket a change, it is dated by the first copy that shows the new terms.
