Pennsylvania is the lone U.S. state without a free version of its statutes on the Web. And that won’t change anytime soon. Last year the PA House Parliamentarian was quoted as saying, “It’s come up before, and all I can say is we periodically discuss it. There are some of us in favor of it, but it’s just never gotten off the ground.”

Recently I emailed Thomas Martin, a local attorney, for an update on his unofficial PA statutes Web site. He told me that he hasn’t been able to update the site for several years now. As anyone who’s managed the care and feeding of a Web site can attest, it takes a lot of time and money. If anybody ever deserved public support for a Web site, it sure is Tom Martin!
