Once a statute becomes law, it is not "written in stone." Laws are amended or repealed on a regular basis. The constant changes to various laws makes it a challenge to have up-to-date information when doing legal research. For example, the online source for the U.S. Code (laws passed by the Senate) is usually a year behind.
For up-to-date U.S. Code, go to The Thomas Library of Congress website (http://Thomas.loc.gov). For up-to-date state laws, you can check a particular state's legislature website.
