The Consolidated Laws of the State of New York are the codification of the permanent laws of a general nature of New York enacted by the New York State Legislature.[1][2]
It is composed of several chapters, or laws. New York uses a system called "continuous codification" whereby each session law clearly identifies the law and section of the Consolidated Laws affected by its passage.[3][4] Unlike civil law codes, the Consolidated Laws are systematic but neither comprehensive nor preemptive, and reference to other laws and case law is often necessary.[1] The Consolidated Laws were printed by New York only once in 1909–1910, but there are 3 comprehensive and certified updated commercial private versions.[3][5] The Laws can be found online without their amendment history, source notes, or commentary.
There also exist unconsolidated laws,[6] such as the various court acts.[7][8] Unconsolidated laws are uncodified, typically due to their local nature, but are otherwise legally binding.[9] Session laws are published in the Laws of New York.[1][10]
