The standard format provided redirects to a index page of links: 
http://www.oregon.gov/how_do_i.shtml#laws

which has a bunch of useful information and the link with the disclaimer 
that Anthony provided.  

Apparently might as well be depending on a legal free wiki site and free 
content typists and editors as the State's official online publishing.   
Use of either is at your own risk.
