Iceland provides electronic access to legislation, regulations and court decisions. The material is available in Icelandic. The Alþingi, Icelandic Parliament, available at http://www.althingi.is/ is a source for online texts, but only in Icelandic, of all in-force Icelandic laws from 1900 (essentially from 1980) to current date. Click on Lagasafn to search by title, keyword, by year and law number, etc. These are consolidated session laws as of the current year. The Parliament has an English page, but this is primarily for brief news notes and information about Parliament. Previously, the Icelandic ministries of government were the best source for reasonably current texts of Icelandic legislation and regulation. All of that information was recently consolidated into the Government Offices of Iceland website, https://www.government.is. The Government Offices of Iceland is the best source for the text of some Icelandic legislation and regulations. Most are reasonably current. However, some of the translations provided are to laws that are no longer in force and have been replaced. Some translations do not incorporate recent amendments to the law. All of the translations are unofficial. You can also access news, reports and other information from the Government Offices of Iceland website. Research Guides: R. Tryggvadóttir, T. Ingadóttir, & E.
