Extracting structured, machine-readable compliance criteria from regulatory documents remains an open challenge. Single-pass language models hallucinate structural elements, lose hierarchical relationships, and fail to resolve inter-document dependencies. We introduce RegReAct, a self-correcting multi-agent framework that decomposes regulatory information extraction into seven specialized stages, each with an Observe--Diagnose--Repair (ODR) loop that validates outputs against the source, correcting not only model hallucinations but also cross-reference errors in the regulations themselves. To ensure structural accuracy, RegReAct constructs a typed criterion graph; to ensure completeness, it resolves external dependencies by retrieving, summarizing, and embedding referenced legal content inline, producing self-contained outputs. Applying RegReAct to three EU Taxonomy Delegated Acts, we construct a dataset comprising 242 activities with over 4,800 hierarchical criteria, thresholds, and enriched source summaries. Evaluation against a GPT-4o single-pass baseline shows that RegReAct outperforms it across all structural and semantic metrics.
