ProQuest Legislative Insight

ProQuest Legislative Insight brings together documents created by the United States Congress during the process leading up to the enactment of U.S. Public Laws. These compilations allow you to discover the legislative intent behind each law and understand the legislative process that produced it. Each history includes fully searchable PDFs of all of the publications generated in the course of the law making, including the full text of the public law itself, all versions of related bills, law-specific Congressional Record excerpts, House and Senate documents, and committee hearings, reports, and prints. They also include presidential signing statements, CRS reports, and miscellaneous congressional publications that provide background material to aid in the understanding of issues related to the making of the law.

For U.S. Congressional documents not related to passage of laws, please use ProQuest Congressional. For Executive Branch rule-making after the passage of a U.S. Public Law or issuance of a Presidential Executive Order, please use ProQuest Regulatory Insight.
