Examples
Public law # 222 of the 109th Congress:
- {{USPL|109|222|Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005}}
returns
- [[Public Law (United States)|Pub. L.]] 109–222: Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 (text) (PDF)
and
- {{USPL|109|222}}
returns
- [[Public Law (United States)|Pub. L.]] 109–222 (text) (PDF)
Public law # 50 of the 102nd Congress:
- {{USPL|102|50|Niobrara Scenic River Designation Act of 1991}}
returns
- [[Public Law (United States)|Pub. L.]] 102–50: Niobrara Scenic River Designation Act of 1991

Public law # 14 of the 93rd Congress:
- {{USPL|93|14|A bill to extend the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, for 1 year}}

and
- {{USPL|93|14}}
returns

For several days, weeks, or even months after a new public law is enacted, links to GPO's website do not work. Consequently, the template displays something like this, for a hypothetical PL 117-999:
- {{USPL|117|999}}
returns
- [[Public Law (United States)|Pub. L.]] 117–999 (menu; GPO has not yet published law)
