Scope and Content Note

The series contains records relating to regular meetings of Assembly Standing Committees. Most but not all committees are represented for each year. Copies of these materials were sent to each committee member prior to meetings and for use at meetings.

The records are as follows: 1) Meeting agenda containing the name of committee and committee chairman, date of meeting, and a list of bills to be discussed with title of bill, sponsor, and print number; 2) Copies of each bill to be discussed; and 3) Sponsor memorandum of support for each bill. This memorandum may take several forms but typically includes title of bill, sponsor, subject and purpose, summary of provisions, statement of support, prior legislative history, fiscal implications, and the effective date of the legislation.

The records contain no information on committee discussions or voting.
