Compiled Legislative Histories


___________________________________________________________________

        Given the large size of a full text, compiled legislative history, there are very few of them online:

LEXIS

        Law students and faculty with access to LEXIS can locate about twenty full text compiled legislative histories in the LEXIS file: "Legislative Histories."

WESTLAW

        Law students and faculty with access to WESTLAW can locate about twenty full text compiled legislative histories in the WESTLAW database: "Arnold & Porter Legislative History"



Legislative Histories Contained in Other Documents


        Sometimes a legislative committee with oversight of a particular law will collect and print an entire legislative history for inclusion in a either a committee report or a committee print. When this report or print appears online, one has electronic access to the full text, compiled legislative history contained within the document.

        WESTLAW has a database, FTX-LH, which contains congressional committee reports that set out the legislative history of bills and public laws related to taxation.
