na sua redação atual

English translation: as currently worded

Portuguese term or phrase: na sua redação atual
Does anyone know if there is a proper term to translate "na sua redação atual" into English? The sentence is:

Informamos que recebemos o Pedido de Alteração Substancial relativo ao ensaio mencionado em epígrafe, submetido a este Instituto nos termos e para os efeitos do disposto no artigo 18º da Lei n.º 21/2014, de 16 de abril, na sua redação atual, e que este será objeto de avaliação.

The reason I'm asking is that sometimes in Portuguese they more or less state the obvious (because why would they not use the "redação atual" as opposed to using the "redação antiga"), and I'm wondering if I should just omit that or if there is a specific way to translate that expression into English.

Thanks in advance.

in its current iteration


Explanation:
I thought about the idea of expressing this concept as iteration, as it is a way to quickly compare any changes, making it so only the current iteration stands.

Here is a link that use a similar construction as well as a link with results from google:

https://www.callaborlaw.com/entry/california-family-rights-a...

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q="in its c...

A couple more additional example sentences:

When it was passed in its current iteration, the Endangered Species Act was hailed as a win for conservation at a time when the environment was seen by many as a non-partisan issue.

We suggest being proactive by carefully reviewing whether your entities are covered under the act in its current iteration and by gaining an understanding of the act’s reporting requirements.

Example sentence(s):
  • A secondary descriptive claim is that the doctrine in its current iteration privileges efficiency interests over the justice-related concerns of accuracy and procedural fairness.
  • In its current iteration, Form 477 collects data twice each year at the census block level, instructing service providers to report as “served” any Census block in which any homes or businesses are served by the service provider.

, as (heretofore) amended,


Explanation:
> as per Phil G. and Mario F., if the wording has indeed been amended and with the inserted embellishment of 'heretofore' (hitherto), so inapplicable to a first-time draft of an 'engrossment' etc.

Example sentence(s):
  • USA: TEXAS, AMENDING THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT. CODE [ ORDINANCE NO. 20-021 OF THE CITY OF ROCKWALL, AS. HERETOFORE. AMENDED,

in its current wording


Explanation:
The phrase "na sua redação atual" in this context means "in its current wording" or "as currently drafted." It is often used in legal or regulatory contexts to indicate that a specific law, regulation, or provision is being referred to as it is currently written, as opposed to an older version that may have been amended or revised.

In English, a possible translation of the sentence you provided could be:

"We inform you that we have received the Request for Substantial Amendment regarding the mentioned trial, submitted to this Institute in accordance with Article 18 of Law No. 21/2014, of April 16, in its current wording, and that it will be subject to evaluation."

It is important to include the phrase "in its current wording" to make it clear that the reference is to the current version of the law, as opposed to an older or previous version.
