Public and Private Laws: Search

GPO Access contains all laws enacted from the 104th Congress (1995-1996) forward. In addition to searching, a browseable Catalog of Public and Private Laws is also available. This application is prepared and published by the Office of the Federal Register (OFR), National Archives and Records Administration.

(ex: "public law 108-3", "117 stat 7", "42 usc 4001")
[ Search Tips ]
  • To search by public law number, enter (in quotes) the phrase public law and the number. For example, "public law 107-1". Do NOT enter "public law 107-001".
  • To narrow a search, use the Boolean operators ADJ (adjacent), AND, OR and NOT. For example: "district of columbia" AND expenses.
  • To find variations on words, truncation can be used.For example: legislat* will retrieve both legislation and legislative.
  • How to select multiple databases in a search box.
