Since 1935, the Legislative Reporting Service (LRS) has produced the Daily Bulletin and other publications to inform government officials and citizens about the status and content of North Carolina legislation. The Legislative Reporting Service website (LRS) provides immediate access to the daily business of the North Carolina General Assembly.
