Kosrae State Code

KOSRAE STATE CODE

This version of the Kosrae State Code is the unofficial version of the Code, as updated by the legislative counsel staff of the Kosrae State Legislature. This version is updated through Kosrae State Law 7-166.

The first official version of the code was done in 1985 (see, "1985 Introduction") and the latest official revision of the code was undertaken in 1997 (see, "1997 Revision").

This version includes typographical corrections and suggested grammatical improvements that do not appear in the original state laws. Minor format editing was done by the LIS Project to improve the readability of the Code. Additional cross references and links have been added throughout the Code by the LIS Project to assist in more efficient research.

Certain word processing characters such as dashes and quotation marks may not have translated cleanly into "html" format and may appear as underline marks and periods, respectively. Users of this on-line version of the Code are cautioned about such translation problems and should refer to the Disclaimer page of this web site for more information. Users should also refer to the official version of the Kosrae State Code, as distributed by the State of Kosrae, for definitive citations.
