amendatory
Serving to revise
Amendatory describes something that makes changes or corrections to an existing document, law, or agreement: an amendatory clause, amendatory legislation.
The word appears almost exclusively in legal and legislative contexts, where formal modifications require precise terminology.
An amendatory act revises a previous statute without replacing it entirely.
