1 Law Library James E. Beasley School of Law Temple University FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE HISTORY Legislative history refers to the Congressional process of considering a bill and the documents generated by that process. Consulting these materials can aid in understanding legislative intent or purpose. This guide describes federal legislative history documents, lists finding aids needed to access them and supplies the documents' and indexes' locations in the Law Library. The historical note sections of annotated federal codes often provide Public Law numbers, bill numbers, dates, and amendment information. These will serve as access points for the document indexes and collections and will help you retrieve the full-text materials for your research. For further assistance, consult a librarian. Documents for Legislative Histories House and Senate Bills A bill is the form in which most legislation is introduced into Congress. A bill may be permanent or temporary, general or specific, public or private. Bills may originate in the House or the Senate with the exception of revenue bills which originate in the House. Bills are designated H.R. or S. and are numbered consecutively throughout a Congress. Bills proposing public laws are published upon introduction and are usually republished when amended. Bills proposing private laws are not reprinted. When introduced in Congress, a bill is immediately referred to a committee for study and recommendations.

They provide the documents legislators consulted while considering bills. Prints carry abbreviations S. Prt. and H. Prt. and are numbered consecutively in each Congress. Results of some Congressional investigations are published as House or Senate Documents and occasionally are useful as sources of legislative history. They are abbreviated H. Doc. and S. Doc. and numbered consecutively in each Congress.

Written testimony may be submitted by various public officials, experts and private individuals who might also be allowed to give a brief oral summary of their testimony and be interrogated by members of the committee. A transcript of the hearing is made and is often printed for public distribution. on legislation may be held during several Congresses before the legislation is passed. Lexis CURHRG, GAPHRG, RECHRG, Westlaw USTESTIMONY, CONGTMY, Web Library E-Resources, Insight, Congressional, FDsys.gov, Reports If a committee votes to report a bill favorably to the House or Senate, a written report is submitted describing the legislation and explaining the committee s action. These reports often provide sectionby-section analysis and recommended amendments. Abbreviated S. Rep. or H. Rep., they are numbered consecutively in each Congress. If the House and Senate versions of legislation differ, a conference committee is appointed to resolve the differences. This conference report is submitted to both houses and is an excellent source of legislative history.
