Authoritative source? No way. The authoritative source are the legal gazettes and official publications, just like they've always been. You think the legal profession will accept an XML repository, hosted by a private company serving the software industry, as authoritative? That's absurd.
Perhaps you meant "official" rather than "authoritative"? As in "published by an actual lawmaking institution", but not "the authoritative reference for those laws".

Look at any state or municipality that's adopted fire and electric codes from their respective trade groups. Or look at the relative power of companies like Westlaw. https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-03-18/state-laws-copyrighted https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-03-18/state-laws...
