Under the jurisdiction of the state, a person applies to the governor. In the federal system, he applies to the president.
Statutes are published in a series of texts known as code books. Each state has their own set. For example, Georgia statutes are published in the Official Code of Georgia, or OCGA. The federal system also has their own set, known as the United States Code, or U.S.C. The sets can be found at any law library. Many colleges and universities maintain law libraries that are open to students and alumni, and many courthouses have law libraries open to the public.
Statutes can also be found through online research tools, such as Westlaw or LexisNexis which cater to web based legal research. Some statutes can also be found at free online locations, but are often not updated as frequently.

Can you renew your California ID if a bench warrant has been issued for you by a California court?
I am not a lawyer, however, I do have a fairly extensive knowledge of the law. I don't believe that the court system communicates with DMV as to who has warrants and who doesn't. The only way DMV would know about your warrant would be if it had something to do with a motor vehicle. Even if it does, I have never seen anyone arrested in a DMV office, I believe the DMV does their job and lets the officers do theirs, and I don't believe DMV personel have the authority to arrest people. You can buy a copy of DMV laws, rules and regulations from your local DMV. Last year, it was either 3 or 5 dollars. It might help you to get a copy of the DMV Laws in California, I buy one every year, so I know what I can and can't do, what officers can and can't do, and what other drivers can and can't do. Even at 5.00, this book is a bargain!! Saved me a bunch for sure! Hope this helps. * It is likely the DMV would have notification of an active warrant and the renewal of the license would be denied. CA. Penal Code 1214.1...(paraphrased) ..'the court may impose a hold on driving privileges and/or registration of any person who fails to appear in court for any proceeding authorized by law....'

What is the statute of limitations on forgery in Ohio?
First of all: Individuals can NOT "press charges." Only State Prosecutors may bring charges in court.
The victim/complainant would have to report the forgery to law enforcement who would then investigate the alleged offense. There is no time limit on reporting the offense to the police, but there IS a six year Statute of Limitations during which the perpetrator must be charged. After the expiration of that time, no criminal charges can be brought against them even if it is later KNOWN that they committed it.
Why would you want to wait to report it? The fresher the crime is the simpler it is to gather evidence and apprehend the perpetrator.

Is there a Statute of Limitations on Detroit city tax?
You're not specifying which jurisdicition, but it's fair to say that generally all tax statutes provide an SOL for assesment of additional amounts in one way or another. Once again, generally, for personal income taxes, a period of 7 years is not uncommon. How that time is calculated can be a bit quircky...from when it starts and things that stop the counting can be strange. Also, once again generally, it only starts with a substantially correct return being filed - that is never file and the SOL remains open for forever. File but be more than 25% inaccurate, and the SOL doesn't apply.
