Scope and Content Note
The series contains records relating to regular meetings of Senate Standing Committees. Most but not all committees are represented for each year. These materials were sent to each member of the committee 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 can 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 relating to committee discussions or voting.
