DOJ Legislative Histories

A collection of federal legislative histories created by U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) library staff over the years, and previously available only to DOJ staff members, is now digitized and available to everyone here on the DOJ web site. Included are some well-known laws, such as the Captive Wildlife Safety Act, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, as well as some major criminal statutes. These legislative histories are easy to use and provide links to full-text PDF documents such as related bills, Congressional hearings and reports, debates, Presidential signing statements, and additional materials.
