    This database allows for searching of mandated reports that the Library is expecting or has received since 2003, with selected mandates prior to 2003 included. Searches by committee only cover 2019 to the present. Each year, the Legislature mandates reports and studies to be completed by state agencies or other governmental entities. Legislative Reference Library staff track these mandates and obtain copies of the reports for our collection in order to provide long-term access. All mandated reports that the library has acquired are searchable through our catalog. For more information, see Mandated Reports. Please notify Library staff with questions or concerns.
