List of U.S. state statutory codes
This is an incomplete list of statutory codes from the U.S. states, territories, and the one federal district.
Most states use a single official code divided into numbered titles. Pennsylvania's official codification is still in progress.
California, New York, and Texas use separate subject-specific codes (or in New York's case, "Consolidated Laws") which must be separately cited by name. Louisiana has both five subject-specific codes and a set of Revised Statutes divided into numbered titles. The Maryland Code was formerly divided into numbered titles, but was recodified into subject-specific articles which must be cited by name.
