New York's Legislative History & Research Service

Since 1932, New York Legislative Service, 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 legislative 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.

The cost of each request is contingent upon the following:
• The number of histories required (Each legislative [Chapter Law or Local Law] 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), which interest you.
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.
