Current Summary of Changes to the Coded Law File

Law File Changes – January 2025

Note: Laws added to the file since the last posted in July 2024, begins with relative address/law ordinal 9079. Be aware, however, that changes/corrections have been made to existing laws. A summary is shown below but may not be complete. We recommend that you overwrite the existing law file with the new one. With this new posting (and with the more recent ones), a new file format is available to replace the legacy mainframe flat file. The content, however, is based on our Oracle table as the mainframe law table no longer exists due to the decommissioning of our mainframe.
