PERAC MEMO #6/1998 M E M O R A N D U M TO: All Retirement Boards FROM: Robert F. Stalnaker, Executive Director RE: Availability of the Massachusetts General Laws via the Internet. DATE: January 29, 1998 The Massachusetts General Court's Internet Home Page now includes the General Laws of Massachusetts. This site includes all amendments to the General Laws passed before August 1, 1997. (For laws enacted since that time, readers should access the 1997 Session Laws or the 1998 Session Laws - from the same Web Site.) The text of the General Laws will be updated periodically to reflect the most recent version. Updates will eventually be made approximately every five weeks. You may access the Massachusetts General Laws via PERAC's Home Page (under "What's New" or "Related Sites"). Our address is: http://www.state.ma.us/ perac . If you would like to add the Massachusetts General Court information to your list of Favorites or Bookmarks, the Internet address for the General Court's Home Page is: http://www.magnet.state.ma.us/legis/legis.htm The Internet address for the General Laws section of the General Court's Home Page is: http://www.state.ma.us/legis/laws/mgl/index.htm The Internet address for Chapter 32 of the General Laws of the General Court's Home Page is: http://www.state.ma.us/legis/laws/mgl/gl-32-toc.htm Accessing the Massachusetts General Laws via the Internet will enable you to conduct section- by-section research of the General Laws with greater ease. It is a valuable resource. However, it is most important to understand that the General Court Home Page version is not the official version of the Massachusetts General Laws. While reasonable efforts have been made to assure the accuracy of the data provided, you should not rely on this information without first checking an official edition of the Massachusetts General Laws.
