Indiana Code

An act of Congress, approved by the president on May 7, 1800, established the Indiana Territory as a separate governmental unit.

[citation needed] The first General Assembly of the Indiana Territory met on July 29, 1805, and shortly after the Revised Statutes of 1807 was the official body of law.

[citation needed] Indiana laws were revised many times over the years, but the current approach to updating the code in a regular manner began in 1971.

A special agency was established to reorganize the entire body of law for the State of Indiana, leading to the development of 36 distinct Titles that correspond to subject categories.
