Note: Even though most of the above websites are
produced by state governments it is wise to verify their currency, completeness
and accuracy. State session laws and state registers (often online) are
generally used by states to update their state statutory codes and state
administrative codes (some of which are not available online). The phone numbers
given above provide contacts for state government operators, state legislatures,
state legislative reference offices, and state law libraries which are often the
state supreme court library or the law and legislative reference section of a
state library.
