ProQuest legislative histories include the full text of the public law itself, all versions of related bills, law-specific Congressional Record excerpts, committee hearings, reports, and prints. Also included are presidential signing statements, CRS reports, and miscellaneous congressional publications. Legislative histories are sometimes used by courts, lawyers, or researchers to discover the “legislative intent” behind a specific law.
