Legislative History of Family Code section 3603

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

Because we charge a fixed fee for each bill ordered for legislative history research, you will be able to minimize your research fees by focusing on specific language within the statute. You can review the above list at your local law library to determine which bill brought in your language or you can hire our firm to trace your language for you.  Contact us if you have any questions about traces, fees quotes, and legislative history and intent research.
