SERIES: 7375
TITLE: Legislative bills copies
DATES: i 1963-1986.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by session, thereunder by bill number.

DESCRIPTION: This series contains unofficial copies of the text of legislative bills the Archives has collected over the years. Generally these are copies produced and distributed to the public by the legislature so individuals can monitor the introduction or see the final version of a given bill. They were gathered by the reference section of the Archives and maintained for research convenience until the transfer of the record copies of the bills. By the mid-1980s the bill drafting and research files created by Legislative Research and General Counsel are relatively complete and this series was no longer maintained.

APPRAISAL

Administrative Historical

This disposition is based on the fact that legislative bills have high research use. These copies are a research convenience until the transfer of the record copies of the bills. Where record copies of individual bills are missing, these may be the only copy of the text for the bill, and thus assume a certain historical value.
