Yes, there are laws. You don't just dump them anywhere. Most campgrounds have a dump station within the campground. That's where you go if you don't have a full hookup site (water/electric/sewer). If you have a full hookup site then you can dump right from your campsite. However, ALWAYS use a dump hose, don't just open the valve and hope for the best. :( If done correctly there should absolutely be no spillage. If so, you need to clean it up thoroughly.
If the campground doesn't have facilities for dumping, some rest areas along the interstate do and some fuel stations do, especially Flying J's or Pilot.
If you can't find anything then usually a nearby campground will let you pull in and use their dump station but most often they'll charge you to do so.
Just remember to be a responsible RVer and use proper dump stations. Never dump elsewhere.
Google "RV dump stations" and there are sites that will give you a good list for use as traveling.
