The Law Page

Updated files are current through the end of the 2023 regular legislative session. Statutes marked with "tentative statute number," may not wind up where I estimate the revisor will put them, so it would be better to cite to the session law reference until the new supplements are published in the Fall of 2023.

Before relying on anything you see on these pages, please ensure that you are looking at the correct law!
