Journals


Legislative journals record the formal actions taken on a bill in the House and Senate. Each chamber maintains its own journal. The journals can be used to find out when a bill was introduced; who sponsored it; which committees it was sent to; and when it may have been amended. Occasionally the journals also include the text of bills, amendments, remarks and roll call votes.

Print and online versions of the journals are available:

Journals are particularly helpful for identifying the committees to which a bill was referred. Researchers can then use this information to locate the records of those specific committees.
