New York State Legislative Bill Jackets Introduction New York State Legislative Bill and Veto Jackets are compiled by the Governor's office before the Governor signs or vetoes a piece of legislation (a bill). Contents of each bill jacket vary, but usually include a copy of the bill with its various amendments and the legislative sponsor's memorandum. In addition, the bill jacket may contain reports and letters from various government departments affected by the legislation. Letters from standing or joint legislative committees that have studied the legislation, and from bar associations, lobbyists, and private citizens are often included in the bill jacket. A separate collection called Veto Jackets is compiled for bills that the Governor vetoes. Researchers often use the bill jackets as a source of legislative history for New York bills. The Law Library has bill and veto jackets from 1905, 1921- . Current bill and veto jackets are available from the Governor's Counsel Office at 518-474-7812. How to Find Bill Jackets in the Law Library Bills introduced into the New York State Assembly and/or Senate are given a sequential number. This number is referred to as the bill number. If the bill passes both the Assembly and Senate and is signed by the Governor, it becomes known as a Chapter Law. Bill jackets are located in the Koren AV Center on the 5th floor of the Law Library. They are filed by year and chapter law number. For this reason, it is necessary to know the chapter number of the bill being researched. The following sources may be consulted to determine chapter law numbers. State of New York Legislative Digest Reference KFN 5007 N435 Volumes are arranged by year.

Subject access to New York State laws is available by using either McKinneys Consolidated Code of New York, or Consolidated Laws Service.

Both of these sources are arranged by subject and contain the law in effect as of the date of publication of the volume.
