The Century Code is the codification of all general and permanent law enacted since statehood. In very limited instances, the Century Code contains temporary laws. The numbering system for the Century Code is a three-part number, with each part separated by a hyphen. The first part refers to the title, the second to the chapter, and the third to the section. For example, Section 54-35-01 refers to the first section in Chapter 35 of Title 54. The decimal point system is used to designate sections that have been inserted between two consecutively numbered sections. The Century Code consists of 65 titles, generally arranged in alphabetical order.
