Many of you are familiar with doing legislative history research in Washington State, but if you need similar information from other states, here are some suggestions. 

You might try looking at a research guide on legislative history for the state you are interested in. The law library at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law maintains the website State Legislative History Research Guides on the Web.  It has a list of the states and online legislative history guides for each state — in some instances, more than one for a state.

Another possibility is to enlist the help of a law library in the state you are researching.  The Legislative Source Book on the website for the Law Librarians’ Society of Washington, D.C.  has a page on State Legislatures, State Laws, and State Regulations.  That page has contact information for the state law library or other resource in each state.

Finally, you might want to hire someone to do the research for you.  The same webpage from the Legislative Source Book has contact information for commercial services that perform legislative history research (scroll down to the bottom of the page to find that list.)
