OLR's Bill Analyses Can Help You Understand a Bill

The Office of Legislative Research has written more than 300 Bill Analyses (and is writing more all the time), which are available to help you understand bills. OLR Bill Analyses are plain language summaries of all bills reported to the House or Senate (except for Appropriations bills, which are summarized by the Office of Fiscal Analysis (OFA)).

You can find a Bill Analysis on a bill's status page or you can browse the entire collection of Bill Analyses at once on OLR's site, which is sortable by both bill number and committee.
