When a legal issue arises, it's not the current code that matters. What was the law when your client's offense, transaction, injury, or other legal matter took place? Statutes are constantly amended, revised, overruled, and superseded, making it difficult to track down an exact historical version. For instant answers, use PastStat Locator, a fast, reliable way to see how a statute existed on a particular date, and how it has evolved.
Renumbered statutes? Future effective dates? No problem.
