Our review of the annotated history reveals the following legislative history (every “c.” below represents a separate legislative bill):
Added: 1968, c. 1129
Amended:
• 1969, c. 1261: substituted, in the first sentence, the words “or made by his insurer under liability insurance as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 108” for “or his insurer”, and, following the words “deceased person”, deleted the words “made under liability insurance as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 108”; substituted “beginning payment” for “payment” in the third sentence, and inserted the words “the cause of action which such recipient may bring against such person as a result of” following “limitations to” and added the words “when such payments are made on behalf of such public entities” at the end of the third sentence.
• 1985, c. 792 to add the last sentence.

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.
