Legislation & Laws

Updating our Legislation

Currently the legislation & laws that were last past within the Confederate States of America was done prior to the close of the war in 1865. Upon convening in the first session of the congress later this year we will begin to bring our legislation up to date.

Once we finalize this we will make it available to everyone on this page. Now for a touch of history here are the Laws & Legislation passed during the last session of the Congress.
