Caveat: I am not a law cataloger. I am just going by examination of the records and the RDA toolkit.
The NARs still under Laws, etc. (Compiled statuses) are all coded as AACR2 records. The use of "Laws, etc." is an AACR2 practice which appears to have been discontinued with RDA. 6.19.2.5.1 indicates that we should prefer the official short title or citation title of the compilation, if available, which is probably why "Code of Iowa" was chosen for the new NAR. The NARs coded as AACR2 should be edited and brought up to RDA standard, with the title based on the new RDA-compliant form represented by n 82097757.

I wish we had a law cataloger that could advise on this. The bibs for works published after 1981 all have the 245... Code of Iowa, [date]. I'm wondering whether it makes sense to simply remove the 240's for those.
