CRS Reports

Written by the non-partisan Congressional Research Services (CRS), these freely accessible government reports provide a wealth of background and current information on legislation including how specific policies changed over time.  You'll find very useful information in CRS reports such as...

• Legislative histories (i.e. how laws changed over time)

• Citations for legislation, reports, websites, court cases, etc. 

• Data and graphics (i.e. charts, tables, figures) with listed sources (where they got the information).
