Pennsylvania Research
Types of Research
Research of sections of the Pennsylvania Statutes Annotated (PSA) or Pennsylvania Code can be accomplished on an hourly basis of $150 to $200 per hour per enactment or administrative action and be available in approximately one to three weeks. Call us at (800) 666-1917 for a free fee quote.
If your code section of interest has a long and complicated annotated history, we can trace the language for a fee. We would include our trace report and our recommendation. For more information about tracing please visit our explanation on our FAQ page.
Types of Materials You Can Expect
For the PSA, the state legislature appears to retain very little on any bill's consideration by the committees. Our research generally includes, but is not limited to, the enacting bill and all of its amended versions, House and Senate Journal excerpts, and possible background information, such as relevant competing and prior legislation. Typically, we work with the enacting state entity, such as the state legislature or relevant state agency.
Regulatory research is provided two ways:
1) tracing of the language to its original adoption; and
2) obtaining the regulatory file maintained by the agency on the rulemaking.
