United States Code
Codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States
.svg)
The United States Code (U.S.C.) is the official compilation and codification of the general and permanent federal statutes of the United States. It contains 54 titles and is published by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the United States House of Representatives.
History
The need for a comprehensive codification of federal statutes was recognized in the early 20th century. Prior to the creation of the United States Code, federal statutes were published in the form of individual "slip laws" and later compiled into the Statutes at Large. The first edition of the United States Code was published in 1926.
Structure
The United States Code is divided into titles based on subject matter. Each title is further divided into sections. The Code is updated periodically to incorporate new laws and amendments. The official version is published every six years, with annual cumulative supplements.
Legal status
The United States Code is not a legal document in itself but a compilation of the laws. The Statutes at Large remain the official legal authority. However, the Code is recognized as prima facie evidence of the laws of the United States.
Publication and updates
The Office of the Law Revision Counsel is responsible for preparing and publishing the United States Code. The Code is available in both print and electronic formats. The electronic version is updated more frequently and is accessible online.
