How a Statute Becomes a Part of U.S. Code

First the statute will be enacted as a ‘slip law’ which is published on its own document that contains information that includes information about the date enacted as well as additional notes that may be useful. It will also be assigned a Public Law Number that will identify the law. Then the slip law will become Session Law, where all slip laws are organized chronologically into one document that will be published at the end of the current U.S. Congressional session (1 per year) to become a Statute at Large. This becomes published in the code under appropriate subject matter and title.
