The General Statutes of North\nCarolina is the current code of all permanent North Carolina law of a general\nnature.  It was adopted in 1943 and is updated annually by the laws passed\nduring each legislative session.  A new edition of the statutes is\npublished biennially and kept up to date in between editions by interim\nsupplements.  Superseded (or outdated) statutes and codes are available\nfor researching how a statute read in earlier years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:\nThe Legislative Library’s collection is incomplete. Several cumulative\nsupplements and some pre-1943 code editions are missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
