I am doing some legislative history research for a patron. A bill
introduced in Congress on October 9, 1999 was considered by the House
Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Courts and Intellectual Property,
and reported out by that committee on October 25, 1999. The bill was
passed by the House the next day. The language of the bill as printed
and discussed in the committee report differs from the language that
was passed (and that appears in the Congressional Record) the next day!
Are there any records of such changes (which do not appear in the
Congressional Record)? I think I have heard that there are "marked
up" versions of bills. Does this refer to bills changed by the whole
House? or in Committee? And are these accessible? Also, are there
transcripts of Committee Meetings, and are these accessible?
Many thanks in advance,
Stephanie Mutty
