What do I get?

Q: What do I get when I order the legislative history of a state statute? A:The types of materials we collect for each bill ordered includes every amended version of the bill, its final history, all surviving legislative committees’ analyses and their legislative bill files, the author’s and/or sponsor’s legislative bill files, the Governor’s post-enrollment bill file, and any other related legislative committee file that may have been generated on the bill. We look for predecessor and competitor bills since the legislative history of the enacting bill would naturally include those earlier or contemporaneous failed attempts. We also provide state agency reports and interim committee reports and studies that may have generated the bill or the section language of interest. We have developed a system for researching legislation coming from different time periods, from the 19^th Century through this 21^st Century, so that we can efficiently and quickly provide you with whatever surviving materials are out there.
