West Virginia Research
Types of Research
Research of the West Virginia Code or the West Virginia Code of State Rules can be accomplished for $650.00 per enactment or administrative action and be available in approximately two weeks. If you need bill history research sooner than two weeks, the fees would be $750.00 per bill. If we are unable to locate sufficient documents on West Virginia legislative history, we will revert to a rate of $150 to $200 per hour, given the timeframe to accomplish the research. 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 West Virginia Code, our research generally includes, but is not limited to: bill copies, the bill history, House and Senate Journal excerpts, committee hearing transcripts, floor debate transcripts, and background information, such as relevant competing and prior legislation. Typically, we work with the enacting state entity, such as the West Virginia Legislature or relevant public 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.
