Where can I find legislative history materials?

To find federal legislative history materials, consult our Federal Legislative History Research Guide.

To find Illinois legislative history materials, consult our Illinois Legislative History Research Guide.

To find legislative history materials from other states, we recommend consulting the State Legislative History Research Guides Inventory maintained by the Jerome Hall Law Library at Indiana University.  You may also find it helpful to consult the Guide to State Legislation, Legislative History, and Administrative Materials on HeinOnline for expectation setting.  The book is too old to be helpful for exactly where to access things, but it can tell you important information like whether a state publishes committee reports at all.
