Tracing Statutory Language:
- Research fees can be minimized by ordering only the bills that affected specific subdivisions or phrases of interest to you.
- Changes to statutes can sometimes be determined by the annotations provided by Deering’s, Westlaw, and Lexis.
- If annotations are not available, one strategy is to look at each chaptered law noted above to observe the changes. Another strategy is to retain us to trace your language and report our findings back to you.
Since 1974, Legislative Intent Service, Inc. has provided the legislative and regulatory history for all state statutes and regulations. You can order legislative history research in two different ways:
- Traditional Custom Research for a per-bill fixed research fee, based on time-frame.
- Store Research for $300 per bill, available for immediate download here.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide this assistance. Contact us if you have any questions or wish to place an order for custom research or tracing.
