  1. Find your law by subject in the "General Index" of the Consolidated Laws. The entry is to a section of the law. For example, the entry, "VILL 14-1434" is found in topic volume, "Village Law" at "Article 14. Sewers" and Section 1434, "Assessments...".
  2. The session law citation is in parentheses at the end of the section text. For VILL 14-1434, it is "(L.1972, c. 892, § 3; amended L.1980, c. 388, § 23.)".
  3. The bill jacket for this law is requested from this Library by citing the year and chapter number. In this example, request as "1972 Chap 892."
  4. You can also identify the law by searching the CD-ROM at ERS Station #11 for McKinney's Consolidated Laws.
