Question: Where can I find state administrative codes?

Several states do not have an administrative code. To find out if a state has an administrative code, please see Bluebook Table 1.  

To find out if our law library collects a state’s administrative code in print or online, search the Law Library catalog by subject: Delegated Legislation – [State].

We do not have every states' administrative codes in print. Those that we do have are no longer renewed; current administrative codes are found online.

You will find print editions of some states' codes in the library. Note that not all print collections are complete.
