Note: Researchers and other users of RLS data are strongly encouraged to use the most updated version of our dataset available for download, rather than relying on archived data. Annual data updates are longitudinal, that is, they maintain assessments of past years’ statutory laws within the scope of RLS along with current data. Using the most recent data publication will give researchers access to any adjustment made in light of updating by legal citators and errata.
