Bill Room at the State Library
The State Library Bill Room (860 757-6550) provides information on the status of
current Connecticut state
legislation
and supplies copies of pending and current legislation upon request. During each
legislative session, the Bill Room also compiles a
List of Popular Acts
by Subject.
Bill Tracking
People wishing to track specific bills during the current CT legislative session
are now able to use the
"Bill Tracking" function on the
CT General Assembly Web site.
Please be aware that "Bill Tracking" only tracks the progress of each bill you
enter into the list and doesn't detect other bills introduced which contain the
same subject matter, if the bill dies and its contents are adopted in another
bill's text.
Legislative Tutorial
An explanation and analysis of How
a Bill Becomes a Law in Connecticut, prepared by Legislative Intern J.
Michael Green.
Legislative History
The Law/Legislative
Reference Unit maintains the archives of Connecticut General Assembly
documents, indexes legislative bills and House and Senate proceedings and public
hearings, and compiles
legislative histories
for Connecticut
Public and Special Acts. The Bill Room works closely with many
legislative offices to acquire verbatim House and Senate transcripts and
Committee Public Hearings transcripts that include written testimony submitted
by speakers at the public hearings. Bill Room staff paginate and index these
transcripts for reference and
citation format purposes. These
documents comprise a comprehensive record of legislative histories in
Connecticut. The
Guide to Legislative
History
Web site provides further information about these histories and how they may be
obtained.
