Bill
Analysis
The Legislative Service Commission prepares a
detailed narrative description of each bill that is scheduled for a hearing in committee.
This bill analysis is updated as the bill moves through the legislative process. Each
analysis contains (1) a heading consisting of the bill number, the version of the bill
being analyzed, and the bill's sponsors, (2) brief statements summarizing the bill, (3) a
content and operation section that describes the bill in more detail, and (4) the bill's
legislative history. An analysis usually is easier to understand than the bill itself
because it is written in narrative style and organized by topic, with the bill's key
provisions described first.
When
a bill is passed, the LSC staff prepare a final analysis of the act.
The final analysis contains a detailed, narrative description of the
bill as passed by the General Assembly, reflecting any changes made on
the floor of the second house or in conference committee, if any. A
final analysis is prepared as quickly as possible after a bill's
passing and may not reflect the Governor's decision to either sign,
veto, or let become law without the Governor's signature.
