Administrative Codes and Registers

INTERNET ACCESS TO ADMINISTRATIVE RULES

Definitions vary among the jurisdictions (states, the federal government, territories, protectorates, etc.). In the table below, "Register" refers to publications like the Federal Register which may contain notice and/or full text of proposed and adopted rules, and/or other types of government notices. The use of the term Register includes similar publications which, in some jurisdictions, may be called Bulletin or Journal. "Code" refers to publications like the Code of Federal Regulations which contain all effective administrative rules. "Manual" refers to the guidance document produced to assist rulewriting agencies.

Each jurisdiction is listed below. Under the name of each jurisdiction appears the terms "Home Page," "Register," "Code," and "Manual." If the term is underlined, clicking on that term will take you to the resource online. If the term is not underlined, that means that ACR is unaware of information on-line for the jurisdiction.

Please note that the link to "Home Page" points to the home page of the agency directly responsible for receiving rule filings, publishing rules, or both. This may be a bureau or an office several layers down in the organization. When that agency does not have a home page, then there may not be a link to the home page, or the link may point to the agency next in line up the organization chart.

*NOTE: DC does not currently maintain a rules home page. However, a former employee has created an unofficial page with information about DC rules at http://www.abfa.com/dcdocs.
