The multi-volume Senate and Assembly journals are the Legislature’s annual diaries, recording more than you could ever possibly want to know about its day to day, procedural actions.  However, from time to time, they record substantive statements of legislative intent about specific measures, or Legislative Counsel opinions that may have been instrumental in a bill’s deliberations.  Such journal research is dependent upon the existence of the indices.  However, it can take three years for the indices to be published at the end of a legislative session, seriously hamstringing in-depth journal research for recent legislation.  In such cases, a substitute page-by-page and day-by-day  search can be ordered.  Happily, digital online postings make this work a lot less tedious because they are word searchable.  Yet their time-consuming nature requires them to be undertaken as a separate project for the affected years.
