Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan
The Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan charts the progress of bills before the current session of the Legislature as well as previous sessions from 1998 to the present. Debates (Hansard) are available from 1998 to the present and can be browsed by date through the legislative calendar, searched through the subject index or speaker index. Information about committees, minutes, orders, and journals can also be found here.
Publications Saskatchewan
The premier resource for Saskatchewan legislation is Publications Saskatchewan, available at no charge. They host a comprehensive collection of current Saskatchewan legislation as well as a growing historical collection including Point in Time Consolidations and Historical Legislation.
They also maintain legislative tables that are essential for historical research. The legislation available online is considered authoritative, not official. Only paper copies of legislation are considered official.
The Law Society of Saskatchewan Library
The Law Society of Saskatchewan Library maintains the Saskatchewan Bills database. This searchable database tracks changes to Saskatchewan statutes over time, charts the progress of bills, features proclamation dates, and includes legislative summaries. Saskatchewan Proclamations features a handy list of provincial proclamations dates from 2000 to the present.

Tips on Citing Case Law:
A detailed guide on Legal Citation is included on the Citation and Referencing Guide.
For legislation and case law that is cited in SHA documents and publications, proper Canadian legal citation standards should be used. Journal articles should use Vancouver citation style to remain consistent with non-primary legal material citations.
