Beth:
In Pennsylvania, Purdons Statutes are copyrighted by West and are not
available in full text on the Internet. The Pennsylvania legislature has
been codifying the statutory law since 1970 and have only completed 25% of
the codification. Thus the web site by D.J. Thomas Martin is the sole
source right now for the Pa.C.S. titles. The legislature has not even put
the consolidated titles up yet; only the statutory law for the past 20
years.
