First released in 2007, HeinOnline’s Session Laws Library contains exact replications of the bound session laws of all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Updated monthly, this is an ever-expanding database. It is the only complete online source of laws from all 50 states, beginning with territorial, colonial, and early statehood laws and continuing through to today. As new session laws are printed, they are added to the databases within 60 days of publication.
The database also includes the D.C. Register and the Session Laws of the U.S. Federal Government and features the entire back file of the Acts of Parliament of Canada and Acts of Parliament of Australia.
Thanks to customer feedback, we have been working on a project to enhance our Session Laws Library by indexing all 50 states to the chapter or act level back to inception. Phase I of the project is complete, which includes indexing for all 50 states from 2000 to current. We're actively working on indexing content for each of these remaining U.S. states and territories from 1999 back to inception:
The following states and U.S. territories have been indexed to the chapter or act level from inception to current:

HeinOnline's Session Laws Library also includes access to State Statutes: A Historical Archive, containing more than 2.8 million pages of historical superseded state statutes. Offering a valuable source of information for researchers and scholars, this database provides an avenue to understand the creation of historical statutes. Each state has been verified using Pimsleur's Checklist of Basic American Legal Publications. Coverage dates back to 1717.
