About:

The United States Code is the official compilation of general and permanent Federal statutory law. First published in 1926, a new edition of the Code is printed every six years; five annual cumulative supplements are printed in intervening years. The Office of the Law Revision Counsel within the U.S. House of Representatives is responsible for maintaining the U.S. Code.  
Each main edition and annual cumulative supplement are current through the laws enacted by a particular session of Congress. The printing of a new main edition or supplement cannot begin until after the corresponding congressional session ends. 
The online version of the Code on the United States Code website is available for searching and browsing and is the most current. The OLRC staff updates this version throughout a congressional session on an ongoing basis.
