What Else do I get?

Q: What else do I get besides these materials to help me make sense of them? A:Our legislative materials will include, without additional charge, our objective report on the history of the bill ordered, perhaps with a focus on your code section. This report is intended to serve two functions. The first is to assure the thoroughness of our research, noting sources such as competitor and predecessor bills as well as studies and hearings or model language. The second function is as a guide to the reader through the legislative history of the bill in question. When there is a section or issue focus, we also try to point to discussions in the materials that may be relevant. There will also be a declaration that serves as a first step towards authenticating the legislative history materials that we have gathered on the bill. Many of our clients also find this declaration to be useful when offering the legislative history materials as evidence. There will also be points and authorities on the use of legislative history materials as extrinsic aides in court. At this time, Legislative Intent Service has been cited in over 50 published court opinions rendered by the California Supreme and Appellate Courts.
