Why pay for membership with New York Legislative Service?
The main reason for becoming a member of any organization is because you support its purpose, goals and activities. Without the financial support of our members, who contribute with an annual membership fee, we would not be here. It’s that simple. For any major firm or corporation, our membership fee is a very modest cost which helps to insure that we will continue to be around to lend our expert services to them.
You may not have realized that New York Legislative Service is a §501(c)3 not-for-profit membership corporation; NOT a government-subsidized office. It is completely self-supporting. This means that we receive no tax dollars, grants or endowment funds.
While the trend has been to downsize law libraries, we have been enlarging our library with rare books and difficult to find documents. The only research specialists in the country on New York legislative intent are trained and employed at New York Legislative Service, Inc. Our library of materials on legislative intent is incomparable.
We offer two types of memberships: New York State, and New York City. You may have either type of membership, or both, depending upon the focus of your firm’s practice. Most of the larger law firms and corporations have both State and City memberships.
Some of the other benefits of membership:
• Members may call us anytime with general questions, or in regard to current legislation and not worry about running up the clock.
• Substantial discounts (25 - 50%) on our proprietary compilations, and document retrieval.
• Bill tracking services- free!
• Receive our State Reports and/or the City Reports: concise reporting on current legislation and new laws. Sections of the State Report can be emailed automatically to any number of people in your firm who have an interest in legislation regarding specific statutes.
• Email alerts on important legislation
• Email notices with synopses for all bills introduced which affect any statute(s), tailor-made to your needs. This has become a very popular service!
• Free bill text & sponsor’s memos from the current session
The financial support of your membership, or charitable contribution, would be gratefully accepted!
