Indexed LA City Law Sources

This demo searches a bounded local corpus. It is useful for discovery and spot checking, not a legal citation authority.

Source freshness: codified-law export current through March 31, 2026; Chapter 1A article PDFs use the July 23, 2025 article publication update shown in the source metadata.
