AGLC4 Rule 25.2.6: Year of Code and Supplement

The year in brackets is the year of the code edition cited, not necessarily the year of enactment. For electronic codes use the year the provision was last updated; for printed codes prefer the spine year, then the title page year, then the copyright year. A provision found only in a supplement takes the supplement year preceded by Supp, and one split between volume and supplement gives both years joined by & Supp.
