## Database History

* The database was created by Codify Legal Publishing in 2016.
* Codify’s bills & regulation database goes back as far as January 2016.
* The proclamation database goes back to 2009, so as to to include older provisions that have yet to be proclaimed into force.
* In 2021, the database was migrated to the URL [codifylaws.com](https://www.codifylaws.com/), as a part of the Codify 2.0 project.
