Latvia pre-2009 district council acts (ipfs_latvia_district_laws)

Acts of Latvian district councils (<X> rajona padome) published on likumi.lv. The district (rajons) level was abolished on 2009-07-01 by the administrative-territorial reform, so all of these issuers no longer exist. These are the 43 acts that ipfs_latvia_municipal_laws pack1 listed as borderline and excluded, because a district council is not a municipality.

• Source: endomorphosis/ipfs_latvia_laws@047b73ac47dd614ff0815d77889ab188cf741ef9 (data/laws.parquet sha256 7141a8b8364df6ad974cdcf92b872e9826c386064e3fcaa88e8883a86b937e25, data/articles.parquet sha256 98fbbf6dbb923a82ab2e97826c902360723cf775bbd49a0816c6563185c9df8a). Built offline from that snapshot; no new crawling.
• Selection: lv_classify.classify(text)["category"] == "district_council". This is the same heading-only rule and code as the municipal pack (scrapers/lv_classify.py, unchanged copy).
• Laws: 43 acts from 22 districts, adopted 1994 to 2007. 22 are marked repealed ("zaudējis spēku") in the likumi.lv passport; the national law_status column says current for all of them, so use status_passport and repealed_on instead.
• Articles: 168 numbered points from 32 acts. The other 11 acts (decisions, orders, tables of election-commission members) have no point structure and have a law row only.

Text processing

• text is the act body: the likumi.lv page text after the site chrome and before the "Tiesību akta pase" passport. Status banners and the "PAŠVALDĪBĀS" label are dropped, lines are stripped, blank lines are removed, and line breaks are kept as printed. national_text_sha256 is the sha256 of the untouched national text value.
• Passport fields are parsed into issuer_passport, act_type, act_number, adopted_on, in_force_from, repealed_on, status_passport and published_in. issuer_heading is the issuer as printed in the act heading.
• Articles are top-level points (1., 2., ... or 1.pants), accepted only in strict sequence. Each one is an exact slice text[char_start:char_end]. Splitting stops at the first signature line (council chair), so signatures, annexes and a second act printed on the same page stay in the law text only. Sub-points (1.1.) stay inside their point.
• PII rule: only free-webmail/ISP mailbox addresses are replaced by [email redacted]. Institutional addresses, council bank accounts and the names of signing officials stay as printed. This pack has 0 redactions; the act texts contain no e-mail addresses.

Known issues

• The passport issuer differs from the heading issuer for 2 acts: lvd-89756, lvd-156235. The passport names the city council, while the heading names the district council. Both values are kept.
• No passport issuer could be read for 2 acts (lvd-27440, lvd-27441); issuer_heading is set.
• Old Latvian spelling and source typos are kept as printed (for example "spstiprināto").
