LEGISLATIVE HISTORY RESEARCH BASICS
Virtual MCLE Event
Thursday, September 29 12 – 1

Program Description
Statutes frequently contain ambiguous or unclear language. When this occurs, researching the Legislature's intent in enacting a particular law often becomes necessary. In this class, learn how to research a California statute and gain resources to engage in basic legislative intent research yourself.
This course covers:
-
Legislative history research: what it can do, why you need it
- The process of researching legislative history
-
Key terms and the different types of documents that make up legislative history
-
Determining the particular session law ("chapter") or bill number to research
