Finding State-Level Legislation
The link below will take you to a list of state legislature pages. If you want to look at a piece of state legislation, this may be the easiest way to search for that. Start by selecting the state house or senate you want to search and use their specific search page to find what you need. From there, you can use the State comparison list in the box below to see how other states are handling a particular issue. You can also use supplemental research (see other pages) to get a broader idea of the stakeholders and larger research context.
