Legislative history refers to the process that a piece of proposed legislation goes through before it becomes law and consists of the documents created during that process. Legislative history research is often conducted to investigate why Congress passed a particular law or to assist scholars, lawyers, and judges in interpreting a law. Legislative history documents are not law but can be helpful in determining the purpose of statutes. The resources detailed in this guide are focused specifically on tax law.
