Sinopsis

Understand how 19th-century reform aimed to improve how laws are written and approved

This edition compiles recommendations for a more careful, expert approach to drafting and revising statutes, with a focus on avoiding ill‑considered changes and ensuring accuracy and consistency with existing law. It contrasts current practice with insights from other nations and outlines steps to strengthen legislative counsel and procedures.

Readers will see how committees, rules, and appointed counsels could shape steadier, clearer law. The text explains the roles of statutory revision, bill titles, and the handling of appropriation measures. It also discusses the balance between thorough revision and the practical needs of a busy legislature.

  • How committees could improve bill drafting and prevent minor or harmful changes from slipping through
  • Proposed rules to require clearer bill titles and timely reporting
  • Comparative notes on parliamentary procedure from England and other regions
  • The rationale for expanding legislative counsel and revision powers

Ideal for readers interested in how state legislatures can pursue more deliberate, careful lawmaking.

Excerpt from Report of the Commission to Recommend Changes in Methods of Legislation: Appointed by the Governor of the State of New York, Pursuant to Chapter 1025, Laws of 1895; Dated, November 30, 1895

These great grievances and mischiefs are not confined to the State Of New York alone. The National Legislature suffers from the same constantly-growing evil - perhaps not to the same degree, but sufficiently to have justified the following opinions Of two leaders Of opposite political par ties, simultaneously expressed at the ceremonies attending the conclusion Of the labors of the Forty-eighth Congress, March 4, 1885.

Excerpt from Report of the Commission to Recommend Changes in Methods of Legislation: Appointed by the Governor of the State of New York, Pursuant to Chapter 1025, Laws of 1895; Dated, November 30, 1895

The undersigned Commissioners, appointed by you, pursuant to Chapter 1025 of the Laws of 1895, to "investigate in relation to the organization and government of the Legislature, the introduction and progression of bills, and generally in relation to legislative business and methods," respectfully report:

The title of the act under which the undersigned were appointed implies, in its terms, that the condition of legislation in the State of New York is such that recommendations of changes in the methods of legislation are necessary.

The single legislative session of 1895 was productive of upwards of 1,045 Acts, requiring for their printing three large volumes of 3,250 pages. There can be no proper legislative need so great as to require in one year, for a single State, 1,045 new enactments. This vast bulk of legislation represents about one-third of the bills that commanded the attention of the Legislature, and bears witness, first, to the fact that probably a great number of these bills which became laws are needless, and some, probably, mischievous, and, second, that it is not physically possible for the members of the Legislature, under existing conditions, to carefully scrutinize or become cognizant of the measures before them. These evils have been manifest and have been constantly growing in dimensions. Therefore, to reduce, if possible, the number of the measures which come before the Legislature for its attention, and to subject those which make their appearance at the annual sessions to a proper scrutiny and consideration, have, for a number of years past, been the desirable ends had in view by legislative enactments, and even Constitutional Amendments.
