One of our interns here at the library participated in a law refresher that I gave the other day. She told us about here experiences doing some grad work at the New York state Library, where she was frequently asked about "chaptering" laws. What, pray, tell, is chaptering?
Simple enough: Nolo offers this definition
Chaptered: A bill becomes chaptered if it is approved by the legislature and signed by the governor.
Long story short, session laws -- the laws that are grouped together by subject but are not yet incorporated into the Consolidated Laws -- are given chapter numbers. Chaptering is the process of taking a new law and locating it in the session laws.
Interns. Always another brilliant question!
