T H E AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION:^ : COMMENTS ;; .

COINpiltTEE of the American Bar Association appointed to study the scientiiic and expert framing of

legislation reported the following opinions and resolution. This report, drafted in 19.13, indicates the .potential functions of legislative reference service as envisioned by a professional organization interested in improved lawmaking. The remainder of this chapter and chapter III. contain data on the extent to whith these functions are now being performed. ; . '

Committee Report "The most important existing perrfianent

public agencies for- ftirnisking information and rendering GxpcrtMSsistdnccin the prep^ oration, of legislative endcttnents are the state'legislative reference bureaus and draft­ing departments.

"Assistance in the framing of legislation given by existing agencies falls under two heads, legislative reference service, Qr the work of collecting material throwing hght on the subject niatter of .legislation, and drafting service.

"The legislative reference service, now actually carried on in the several states, demonstrates that it is entirely practicable ^ to collect, classify, digest, and index, prior' to a session of a legislature, all kinds of" material bearing on practically all subjects likely to become subjects of actual legisla­tion at the session. This. material,. where the bureau is v ell run, includo^not only books and pamphlets, such as might be found in an ordinary library, but also copies of bills i"ntroduced into the various state legislatures and laws which have been en­acted in this and foreign countries, and other printed materials relating to the •operation of such.laws or the conditions cre­

ating a need for them. Indeed, on most subjects of possible legislation, the diffi­culty is not to find material, but to arrange the large mass of available material so as to make its efficient use practical. That such service has great possibilities of use­fulness is evident, especially where the serv­ice is directly contributory to the drafting service. The increasing complication of our industrial, social, and governmental admin­istrative problems renders it necessary, if the discussion of matters pertaining to leg­islation is to proceed in a reasonably in­telligent manner, that systematic effort be expended on the collection and arrange­ment of material bearing on current mat- " ters of public discussion likely to become the subject of legislative enactment. A central state agency to furnish sych service

~(does-not take the place of special commis­sions, of committees creat^ to investigate particular subjects and recommend legisla­tion, • The object of the central reference^ service shoOld be to assist such bodies, as well as individual members ojf the legis­lature ancl others desiring information per­taining to subjects of legislation.

"Existing agencies also demonstrate that. it is possible to provide.expert drafting serv­ice for the more important measures * nd some assi^^hce in the drafting of all t)il|s introduced. .The number of bil]s, for WjRich ' expert drafting assistance cap be furnished,'. would appear to be merely a;questi6n of the' size of the force and the araoiinkof the ap­propriation for its suppbi t. „ \our com­mittee, therefore, believes tih t 'it is entirely practical to estabhsh, in cQ'nnection with any legislature^ a permanent " agency , ca­pable of giving expert drafting assistance for all bills introduced, and\they urge the American Bar Association to palace itself on record as favoring such an agency as the most.practical means of'bringing about sci­entific methods of legislation, that is to say,

methods of drafting statutes which will secure: ,

1. Conformity to constitutional require­ments.

2: .Adequacy of< he provisions of the law , to its purpose. • . ' • . "

3. Coordination with the existing law. _. 4. The utmost simplicity of fornv con­

sistent wth certainty. "The technical shortcomings of our

statutes are chiefly due to the fact that they come from so many hands working without supervision and without a concerted plan. Each statute is apt to create, to some extent, an administrative machinery of its own, to have its own peculiar provisions for sanction and enforcement, and to frame new rules and principles applicable to alrieady ie.xisting acts in pari materia. The multiplicity of separate provisions for sep- • arate statutes produces confusion, and uh-; necessarily encumbers'our law.

"A distinct grafting service will produce the one thnig ifdispensable to scientific leg­islation: a pro'fe^sional attitude of mind, -which means training for the work, devo­tion to it, and a'reputation at stake in its proper execution, \yithout which a high quality of workmanship is as unlikely in legislation, as in any other work." • .

• - ^ - . ^ ' • • ^ • : : • )

Resolution "Resolved, That in the opinion of the

Association, an official legislative drafting and reference service, when prroperly organs ized and directed, forms an efficient agency tending to prevent the enactment of un­constitutional, obscure and ofhervvise defec­tive statutes ancf% secure the utmost brev­ity and simplicitjf consistent with accuracy in the lahguage 'df statutes, and we hereby ' recommend the Establishment and gener­ous support of such service at Washington and in those states not now having such service."

The American Bar Association made this leport in 1913, twelve years after the found­ing of the first widely recognized bureau^ in 1901. \Vhen the; report was made there were only twenty-five legislative refer-: ence and drafting agencies existent. Dur­ing the intervening twenty-two years more than twenty-five new agencies have been formed. .

: ': No EVALUATION

It is the purpose of this .chapter to give a general picture of all official state legis­lative reference services. 'At the outset of this discussion it should be stated that there is no method of applying a/neasuring stick either to the organization of the legislative bureaus or to their work. It is" possiblie to tell how many original researches they, conduct, how. many bills they draft,, and how many' legislators they servq. But it is quite impossible to.tell how much the legislative reference bureaus have improved the statute law in individual states. This difficulty is greater with the research branch of the service than with the drafting.

:It is equally impossible to compare the. bureaus of the several states. So different a[re local problemsv legislative practicfes, . and financial conditions, that a type of bureau operating effectively in one state would be • largely unsuited to another. ,.

GROWTH OF LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE

"»"—"--SERYICE •,:; - ;. ^

The official agencies providing legisla­tive reference, research, bill drafting,.statu­tory revision or/any combination or these services are listed by states in Table I. The. modern legislative .bureau idea was inaugurated in 1901. By 1907 only five bureaus were in existence; exclusive of spe­cialized bill drafting or statutory revision agencies w-hich originated as early as 1787 in Massachusetts and South Carolina. How-everTrom 1907 to 1914 legislative reference work was undertaken by twenty-three new agencies. In 1907 alone seven states in­augurated the service. Six more bureaus w ere installed in the biennium 1909-1910; six in 1913; and four in 1914. The number of agencies continued to increase and only one was discontinued. At present there are fifty-tw^o agencies in forty-four, states biit more:: than fifteen states still lack adequat'F^ legislative reference service.

Thirty-six legislative bureaus have been authorized by statutory provision in thirty-one states. Many others have been set up as divisions of the State. Libraries without a specific enabling act of the legislature. The California Legislative Reference Sec­tion, Kansas Legislative Reference Depart­ment, and the New York Legislative Refer-^

^^

LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE SERVICES 197

ence Section have been organized in the latter way.

Nine or more of the states have two leg­islative ..agencies. One of these usually spe­cialized in referfence and r£isea,rch' and the other in bill drafting and statutory re­vision. In some cases, the functions over­lap so that both do research or drafting.

To summarize the situation'at present, fifty-two legislative reference and bill draft­ing agencies-operate in forty-four of the states. These agencies range from a bureau which provides library service, research,

. drafting, and revision to a. single lawyer hired by a legislature during session .to" draft its bills. Thirty-six of the fifty-two are at least fairly weli equipped bureaus.. The others are makeshift arrangements. •:

It is interesting to note that of all the leg­islative reference bureaus organized, only one has been-completely discontinued.

ORG.-\NIZATION OF SERVICES

. ' " Supervising Agencies

: Legislative reference agencies are set up in many different ways. Twenty-one dif­ferent types of sponsoring offices are em­powered to supervise the agency which does the work. Table H shows that twenty-

rr one agencies are under libraries or library "boards, while eleven operate directly under the. legislature of. the state. Six other bureaus are supervised by executive depart­ments and four by offices of attorneys-general. State supreme courts direct three

. bureaus. - The other supervisory bodies range .from a historical society to a board

.of university regents. Heads of these directing, .departments

include thirteen state librarians, t^n chair­men of boards or commissions, nine gover­nors-and four attorneys-general.. It is in­teresting to note that during the last, five years the departments in Indiana, Ohio, and Virginia have been organized or re­organized iinder the governor.

. Titles, of Bureau Administrators

The administrators of the bureaus ac­tually providing the' legislative reference

, services are known by si.xteen different names. . The majority are called '"libra-

• rians." "Director" is the next most popu­lar title and "legisrative librarian" is a,close

third. "Legislative counsel," "revisor," and "chief" are also frequently used.

DIRECTORS '

Ediication of Directors

'The administrative officers, or directors, ' as they will be called in this study, are aca-' demically traihed as well as experienced. Fourteen directors- have the <Hiegree of Bachelor of Laws and one is a Doctor,of Jurisprudence,- Three directors are Doctors

. of Philosophy; four have master's degrees. Fourteen others have bachelor of arts de­grees. Six directors, are graduates of pri- \ vate and trade schools, with extra training in law or library science.

Appointment and Terms of Directors

Ten legislative reference bureau direc­tors are. appointed by boards of various types,:while another ten are appointed by -state librarians. In six cases- the Gov­ernors appoint the: directors, and in ten casesthe Legislatures or legislative, boards -or committees fill the vacancies. Once in office,.the directormaystay indefinitely in thirty-one out of fifty cases—in thirty-four if directors under civil service are in-clude.d. Six of the fifteen definite terms are two years long and six of them are for four years. Directorships in California, i\Iassa- 't\ chusetts, and Xew .York, come under state civil service regulations,•

Time Devoted to Work • Twenty-eight of the directors of legisla- . live reference divisions, departments, bu­reaus, or agencies devote full time to legis­lative reference work. Six devote half time to these duties and sixteen work only ^during legislative sessions. The majority of those listed as sessional directors are • state librarians in states which do not have a full time bureau. • • :

. Experience of Directors

One of the most interesting facts revealed by this study was the amount of experience which most bureau directors have had.

'Forty-four directors have had legislative or library experience for an average of more than 14 years. The Statutory Revi­sion Commissioner, of Connecticut, INIr. Frederick A. Scott, has had most legislative

' .V

'- ir- EpW3=«==t*'^

198 THE BOOK OF THE STATES

experience—thirty years. Directors in Connecticut, Maryland, Rhode Island and New York have all served twenty-eight years or more, while those in Nebraska,

; low^ Arkansas and Oregon each have twenty-four or more years of experience. California, Georgia, Indiana, Massachu­setts, Pennsylvania and South Carolina have . directors with more than twenty years ex-" perience.

• S T A F F . .'. • _ ^ . . i

. Full Time Em ploy eis' • In addition to the fifty directors there are

almost, a hundred full time employees. The New York Legislative Bill Drafting Commission which maintains twenty-four erriployees throughout the year has the larg­est regular full time staff. The Pennsyl­vania bureau js next with twelve members. The Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bu­reau has nine full time employees, aad the New York Legislative Reference Sectiqpi has eight' Comparatively large perrnanent staffs are also maintained by the Maryland, Iowa, and Illinois bureaus. ,\

Tcfms_ of Full Time Employees

The full time employees of most of the states are chosen for indefinite terms, but in one state they serve for four year terms and in one state for two year terms. In seven states—riamely California, Colorado,

Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York.and Wisconsin—employees are under Civil Service reguldtions.

Part Time Employees ' A number of bureiaus-employ part time

workers for reference service;' These are the bureaus in which some legislative.refer-ence service is carried on ais a library func­tion by the library personnel, and under the direction of the state librarian. The Alabama Department^ of Archives and History and the New Hampshire State Li­brary are the best examples of this arrange--ment. •

Temporary Employees About two hundred temporary staff mem­

bers range from expert bill drafters with law degrees to political appointee clerks. Sev­

eral of the smaller states hire lawyers on a per diem basis to serve as "bill drafters during legislative sessions. The great ma­jority of sessional employees are stenog­raphers, clerks and employees transferred from other depantments, usually the state library or attorney-general's office. The

. Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau , averages from twenty to twenty-five temp(/ rary employees per session; Connecticut . has twenty; to give only two examples. The Massachusetts Senate and House

; Counsels employ many temporary assistants during sessions and when working on a revision or major compilation of laws.

Appointment of Employees.

Full time, part time^ and temporary staff members ai e usually appointed. by the di­rector in charge of the agency. In one in-

; stance the governor appoints all of the staff, while in two statesitte entire bureau staffs are, appointed by the legislatures. When the legislative reference bureau is a division of the statejibrary thestate'librarian ordi­narily appoints both director and staff.

• ^ SERVICES PERFORMED

Legislative reference services have been divided into four sections;/library service, : legislative research,'drafting, and statutory revision.

library Service , Library service consists of ascertaining— and acquiring information on—subjects that will be considered during the coming sessions of the legislature.. The material is reserved for, and lent to, the legislators upon application. Forty-two of the fiftyr-two agencies render this type of service. In fifteen cases whete legislative reference, activities amount to little rnore than a com­plete library service for legislators, the secy-ice is performed either by an officially desig­nated division of the state library,, or by a general department of the state library.

Legislative Research Service . Legislative research is generally defined

as the locating, compiling, and digesting— . in response to specific requests—of infor­mation oh legislation pending or enacted iT. in .one or more states. Thirty-nine of the A

r • N D

• ) • :

LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE SERVldES 199

bureaus conduct some form of J legislative research in addition to library service.

. . Only twenty-two undertake what is known as complete research service,- They work on the compilation of material throughout the year and make every effort either to compile or to find all available material which may be needed by their legislatures. Ovfer a dozen bureaus undertake as much re­search as is permitted by the size of the -Staff a'fed the time allotted to legislative

.. '-reference work. Several are handicapped; : because of reduced budgets and try to con- •

tinue a formerly effective service with; • totally inadequate fiiiancial support.

Bill Drajting Service Bill drafting inyolves the actual drafting

of bills, memiorials, resolutions, and amend­ments for introduction in the legislature. This service is usually restricted to mem­bers of the legislature and state'^epartment : heads, and written, instructions are custom­arily required. Twenty-six of the fifty.-two-agencies do. bill drafting, and of these, eighteen carry on bill drafting in the same department as the library service and legis­lative ^research. Although the attorney-

, general's office very rarely carries on the other types of legislative reference service, in twenty-two States it does all or part qf the bill drafting. Private lawyers are hired to

' a c t as bill draftefs in: three states: Dela.-ware, ISTevada and Wyoming. Five states have created separate departments to do bill drafting or bill drafting and statu­tory icvision. Connecticut has a Statutory Revision Commissioner who.also does bill . drafting. His work and that of, the Legil-

.''.'. lative Reference Bureau are complement­ary, and close coordination'and coopera-

^ tion is, maintained between the two agencies. • The IMassachusetts House • afid Senate

Counsels, the New York Legislative Bill Drafting Commissioners^ and the Rhode Island Law Revision Commissioner are, similar examples. In Vermont the Board of Legislative Draftsmen is solely a bill draft-

-ing agency and legislative research and statutory revision ar6 dbne by two other distinct agencies.

Statutory Revision Service Statutory revision is the consolidation,

'reconciliation, :^rid clarification of all sec-

tions of. the statutes and the repealing of dead material by "revision" bills presented at. legislative; sessions. Only five legislative reference bureaus undertake statutory re­vision, functions in additionto library serv­ice, legislative research, and drafting. They-are the California Legislative Counsel j^ureau," Colorado Legislative. Reference Office, Kansas Revisdr of Statutes, Penn­sylvania Legislative Refefence Bureau and ' the Virginia Division of Statutory Research and Drafting. •, Some states—Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island—have separate statutory revision agencies which sometirhes do bill drafting. Four of the states have code commissioners. Vermont and Rhode Island have law re­vision commissioners and IMaine and Wis; consin have revisors of statutes; In most states. a "complete statutory. revision," periodically ordered by the state legislative body, is made. .A legislative committee is usually established, and it either employs counsel or" contracts with«ia large private agency for the completed revision.

FACILITIES . • -

Location oj Bureau Offices Naturally, the State Capitol is the most

usual location for the legislative reference bureau.. In thirteen cases the bureau is in, the State Library which, in turn, is in the capitol. In twenty-five other cases the legislative reference bureaus occupy sepa­rate offices in the capitols. Separate library buildings house three bureaus and supreme , court buildings, four bureaus. The Penn­sylvania bureau; is in a museum and Ne­braska's is in the University Library. The Maryland Bureau is located in Baltimt)re's City Hall.

Size of Bureau Offices The offices of the individual bureaus vary

from individual small rooms to extensive suites. Since it would be extremely diffi­cult to work out a method for comparing the relative advantages of these .offices it was felt that the results would not be worth the effort. Each office is briefly described in the various sections of Chapter III of the . Manual. This amount of descriptive ma­terial depends on the information which is available.

200 TH^ BOOK OF THE ST A TES

Library Facilities of the Bureaus 'Twenty of the legislativie reference burea:us maintain separate legislative ref­erence libraries. Twenty-three bureaus use the state library material or its equivalent. Others use law. libraries, or in some cases, private legal, libraries, It is even more

"difficult to measure the legislative refer-' encex^aterial than to .appraise bureau quarters. Some bureaus measure their ma­terial by lineal feet of shelj space. Others keep the rnaterial in fiHng cases. Still other bureaus nieasure their equipmerH: by- the number of d/ocum'ents under'^ach classifi­cation-—boofe, p'dmphlets, bills, etc. Many had no count of tlie nraterial on hand.' Such results as were available have been included in the next chapter but it should be remem­bered that these descriptions do not form a just basis of compairison between.the dif­ferent agencies.. ' .

Supplementary Matcjial Used by the . / ^ ' Bureaus

X • • -

Supplementary material is often supplied by some library otheriMian the one mairt-tairied by, or primari | used by, the legis­lative reference bureau. The names of these supplemeptafy sources are listed' in'

the last column of Table VT and in the descriptions of individual bureaus found in the next chapter. ,

Difficult to Determine t The cost of legislative reference work in

many states is impossible to determine. In twenty-four states the expense is carried, by the supervising department; no sepa­rate appropriations are made; and no sep­arate, account kept^ In cases where two agencies are operating in a state it was often possible to obtain the expenditures of one and not of the other. In certain instances the total annual expenditures of. the super­visory department were available for the fiscal year 1933-34, but no intimation was made as to the percentage spent for the legislative-reference work.

Legislative Reference Costs in the States

The .193-3 34 expenditures were avail­able in . the larger legislative reference bureaus. ' The total expenditures for the several fofins of legislative services are listed by states in order of greatest expendi­ture for the" fiscal year.
