How do I cite a State Law found on a government website?

Answer

To cite laws in APA, the citation follows a mix of APA and Bluebook.

Lansing CC has examples for Michigan compiled laws:

MICHIGAN LAW (MICHIGAN COMPILED LAWS ANNOTATED)

Example:

Safe Drinking Water Act. Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. 325.1007 (West 1999). Retrieved from website.

Title of the act. MCLA abbreviated title. Section number. (Publisher year). Retrieved from website.
