Pennsylvania Election Law Legislative Histories
The Pennsylvania Legislative Histories database contains librarian-compiled legislative histories in PDF format. When compiling a Pennsylvania Legislative History, Jenkins includes only the debates and remarks on a particular bill, which are published in the Legislative Journals for the House and the Senate. For our Pennsylvania election law legislative histories, we have also included references to Conference Reports found in the House and Senate Journals.
Jenkins does not receive the Committee Reports for the Pennsylvania House or Senate Bills. See our Pennsylvania Legislative History research guide for information on locating committee materials.
Coverage:
Histories for many, but not all, acts amending the Pennsylvania Election Code (1937, PL 1333, Act 320), Title 25 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, and Article VII of the Pennsylvania Constitution.
