Popular law names Y-Z in the United States
What are popular names of laws? Laws acquire popular names as they make their way through Congress. History books, newspapers, and other sources use the popular name to refer to these laws. Why can’t these popular names easily be found in the United States Code?. Because often the law will not be found in one place neatly identified by its popular name. Those who classify laws into the U.S. Code typically leave a note explaining how a particular law has been classified into the Code. It is usually found in the Note section attached to a relevant section of the Code, usually under a paragraph identified as the “Short Title”.
The Table of Popular Names is organized alphabetically by popular name. You’ll find three types of link associated with each popular name (though each law may not have all three types). One, a reference to a Public Law number, is a link to the bill as it was originally passed by Congress, and will take you to the LRC THOMAS legislative system, or GPO FDSYS site. So-called “Short Title” links, and links to particular sections of the Code, will lead you to a textual roadmap (the section notes) describing how the particular law was incorporated into the Code. Finally, acts may be referred to by a different name, or may have been renamed, the links will take you to the appropriate listing in the table.
