Legislative Information

There are two sets of links listed below, one for annual legislative summaries and the other for lists of bill introduced in recent legislation sessions. The first set of links are to bulletins that summarize legislation enacted each year related to planning, land use regulation, transportation, housing, and related topics. The second set of links below are to a listing of individual bills introduced in recent sessions of the General Assembly and the status of those bills in the current session.

In addition to the SOG materials, the General Assembly maintains several web-based resources regarding legislation. These include an online edition of the General Statutes (note, however, that there is generally a six month lag between adoption of amendments and their incorporation into the online edition), an online link for enacted session laws, and the current status of each bill that has been introduced (searchable by bill number or key word; also contains links for votes on bills).
