The actual number of laws in each state is pretty much indeterminable, unless you sat down to look in the index of each state's laws (called statutes or codes) and counted them up.
Even if you did that, you would have the problem of deciding whether to count each chapter or each section of a chapter as an individual law. Every state uses its own configuration to organize its statutes. Florida has 1013 chapters. New York has a different configuration, and in the criminal section alone, there are 500 "articles," the majority of which have individual sections which are themselves complete laws (an average of 5-10 sections per article). New York may have 2,500 to 5,000 laws that are criminal laws alone!
If your question is about criminal laws, in the 50 states in the United States, there are upwards of 50,000 criminal laws, and an estimated two times that many civil laws in existence at this moment.

This is "on the books" when a more recent case overrules an earlier one or one.Additional: Short answer: Statutory Law.
