The Law Library subscribes to a wide range of databases and electronic resources that provide legal and legislative information in the United States and around the world. Note that some commercial databases are only accessible to researchers when they are on-site in a Library of Congress reading room. A local government is required to keep a register of its local laws and must ensure that a copy of its local laws can be consulted and purchased by the public in its public offices. The New York Department of State maintains an electronic database of local laws and county codes („Local Law Database“). The database contains local laws filed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on or after 1 January 1998. It also includes county codes filed on or after April 1, 2015. Local laws and county codes filed with the State Department are typically added to the local laws database within two business days. If an electronic copy of a document is not available, please contact the relevant local government to obtain a printed copy. Note: The laws and procedures covered by this dataset were in effect on January 1, 2021.
Laws implemented after this date are not included here. To see the laws that introduce a right to support tenants since January 1, 2021, visit civilrighttocounsel.org/map. Local laws passed by the legislative body of a local government (county, city, city or village) are filed with the Department of State in accordance with section 27 of the Municipal Self-Government Act. In addition, each county legislature is required to provide the Secretary of State with a complete codification of all local laws he passes („County Code“). The local dataset includes federal/territorial, state, and local eviction laws for a sample of 30 jurisdictions in the United States. These jurisdictions were chosen to represent the demographic, socio-economic, and legal differences between American communities. The New York State Department (DOS) has a local legal database where you can find examples of laws. The respective local government owns the copyright and claims the right to keep this material unchanged. The Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University`s Beasley School of Law supports the widespread adoption of scientific tools and methods to map and assess the health impacts of the right.
The Centre develops and teaches methods and tools in public health law and legal epidemiology; researches laws and policies that improve health, improve access to health care, and create or remove barriers to health; and shares evidence to facilitate innovation.

Copies of the statutes are Acrobat PDF files. These files require Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded for free from Adobe. The full text of recent laws can be found on the GPO govinfo and Congress.gov websites: Local laws filed before January 1, 1998 are not included in the local laws database. They are kept in manual files. Copies of these local laws may be requested through a written request to the Department of State with the required fee.

The state and territory dataset includes state/territory deportation laws for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau. This is the first known public document to date that contains information on deportations to U.S. territories. The public can search the database of local laws on this website. Please refer to the Local Law Search Instructions for detailed instructions on how to conduct research and view images of submitted local laws and county codes, which can be found below. A local government must inform the public that a local law has been enacted by posting a notice in the official gazette and on the local government`s website. Within 14 days of the publication of the notice, the local government must provide the Minister of Local Government with a copy of the notice and a copy of the local law in electronic form.
