HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania's consolidated laws will be posted on a publicly available Web site, making it the last state to do so.

An internal committee of the state Senate, the Committee on Management and Operations, approved a resolution last month to put the consolidated statutes on the official Web site of the state Legislature, www.legis.state.pa.us. A corresponding House committee had previously approved a similar resolution.

Until now, Pennsylvania has been the only state that does not maintain a public Web site that gives people the ability to do their own legal research.

The state's 79 groups of consolidated statutes are currently assembled in the 107-volume "Purdon's Pennsylvania Statutes Annotated."
