resource for old laws

Post by Jay Wright »

Someone asked me for a copy of the Subdivision Map Act from 1994. (I don't know why)
Where would you look first?
I asked Mr. Google first and will try to reword my query to get results next.

The Office of the Chief Clerk of the Assembly has all of the Statutes scanned and available on-line plus a lot of other stuff like legislative histories.

Statutes, by Year and Chapter:
http://clerk.assembly.ca.gov/archive-li ... e=statutes

It's really handy for reading how the law was back in history.

Thanks, Dave! I found something on your link that I had been looking for for quite some time . Unfortunately, it's a cumbersome website. Took about 5 minutes to download the 100 Mb file that covers resolutions just from 1911. I only wanted a few pages, but didn't see how to view and print the pages I needed without downloading the whole darn thing.

I was going in the stacks at Witkin Law Library (California State Library) and getting the old books and photocopying them. One of the librarians saw this and pointed out the website to me. Much easier.
