Sacramento Resources for Legislative History

Two of the best resources for legislative history are located here in Sacramento:

California State Archives www.sos.ca.gov/archives/collections/legislative-resources/

Resources include:

• Governor’s, legislative, agency, and author bill files, containing analyses and correspondence
• Hearing files
• Videotapes of selected hearings and floor sessions.

California State Library
www.library.ca.gov/law/

Bill books containing virtually all versions of bills since 1876; briefing papers, Committee reports, and reports of hearings are also available.

Also, both McGeorge School of Law (mcgeorge.edu/Library) and UC Davis School of Law (law.ucdavis.edu/library/) collect the California Bills and Resolutions set (containing all versions of bills) and related material.
