State and Union Territory Legislative Materials - Print
All states publish weekly gazettes in which state laws are published. For the most part, these weekly gazettes are not available for borrowing.
Current Indian Statutes has acts, rules and notifications for several states.
In addition, Memorial Library has an extensive collection of compilations of local acts, rules, regulations and notifications for the states and union territories. Most of these have either not been kept up-to-date or ceased publication, and are therefore useful for historical research only. If you would like a list of these resources, please contact Sunil Rao, Reference Librarian, at strao@facstaff.wisc.edu.
