Since 1932, NYLS, Inc. has provided the most extensive research and material on legislative intent.  We are the only source like this!
 
All the major law firms, court libraries, corporations, banks, and the City of New York depend upon us to provide the most comprehensive legislative histories possible.  Our collection has been built up over decades of daily research.
There is no single source document for legislative intent, so when you need a legislative history on New York State and New York City laws, or the NYS Constitution, we create a custom compilation.
 
NYLS is a not-for-profit membership corporation. We do not receive any tax dollars or grants, so our fees are carefully structured to cover our annual budget.  You get experts to do your work at cost, while saving you a lot of valuable time and aggravation!

The cost of each request is contingent upon the following:
• The number of histories required (Each legislative or regulatory action has an independent history);
• Total page count of all documents; and
• The research time required, if any.

When ordering, please provide a citation to the specific Chapter Law(s) or Local Law(s), in which you are interested.
If you only have a citation to a statute or regulation (NY Consolidated Laws; NYC Local Law; NYC Administrative Code; NYC Charter; RCNY; NYCRR; etc), we can determine which specific legislative or regulatory amendments you need. Making this determination is billable research time. In all cases, please provide the most specific citation possible.
