1. Dynamic Table of Contents: Designed for simple navigation, the Dynamic Table of Contents moves with you so you always know where you are in your Code.
   User Tip: Click the Pin icon to keep the Table of Contents visible while you move through the Code.
2. List of Chapters: Click the checkbox to select a chapter, or click the chapter name to view specific chapter content.
   User Tip: Selecting a chapter, section, or article allows you to use the eCode tools only on that particular content.
3. Home: Returns you to the List of Chapters in your Code.
4. New Laws: View adopted legislation that has not yet been incorporated into the Code. For more information, see New Laws .
