Shopping on Main Street has never been easier for attorneys seeking quick and inexpensive access to legislative history materials.
LIS legislative history compilations have been lauded by clients and courts for their complete gathering of California bill materials. Now, LIS’ previous compilations of legislative history materials are posted to our online store.
At our online store, you will have, in a matter of a few minutes, 24/7, the following:
All versions of the bill (introduced and amended)
Chaptered version of the bill
Final history
Plus the following materials we searched for when we previously accomplished this research:
- Assembly and Senate policy committee analyses
- Assembly and Senate policy committees’ file materials*
- Assembly and Senate fiscal committee analyses
- Assembly and Senate fiscal committees’ file materials*
- Author’s legislative bill file
- Governor’s chaptered bill file (1941 – 2009)
- Related state agency bill file
- Related sponsor bill file
*The file materials from the committees, author, governor, state agency and sponsor generally contain floor statements, background worksheets, analyses, proposed amendments, correspondence in support, correspondence in opposition, and correspondence explaining proposed amendments, plus other materials such as newspaper articles, studies, and reports.
We have over 15,000 California bills’ legislative history materials available at our online store. Because not every legislative history research project requires the complete search that our “custom” projects provide, the list above of available materials relates to the Assembly or Senate bill itself and not to any related failed predecessor or competitor bills, which we usually provide for our “custom” research projects. We also do not include our declaration or report.
It’s easy to see if your bill and the compiled legislative history materials gathered previously are up there:
