Internally, [we have only part of the functionality to return multiple laws in response to a single Laws::get_law() query](https://github.com/statedecoded/statedecoded/blob/e056a5daeb42f102fc715aefed74728d82d7fb03/includes/class.Law.inc.php#L87), but we only return one result in response to the SQL...
At present, if APC is running on the server, then The State Decoded will take advantage of it. This is not always desirable. Provide an option in `config-sample.inc.php` to allow...
Every legal code gets recodified sometimes, resulting in many sections being assigned new numbers. Support a defined storage format (perhaps a JSON file, or a CSV file that we convert...
