1. Look for the history of the code section at the end of the section in either McKinney's Consolidated Laws of New York (McKinney's) or in the Consolidated Law Service (CLS).
2. Check the annotations in either of these sets for amendments with session law citations, references to: Assembly, Senate or Law Revision Commission reports; or Senate documents; or, Public Hearings; or any other relevant publication or article.
3. Look for the Governor's or Legislative memoranda in the Legislate Annual or McKinney's Session Laws. These documents are arranged by session law citation, i.e. year enacted and chapter number.
4. Check our microforms guide for Bill Jackets or Veto Jackets held by this Law Library.
Bill Jackets may be found by session law citation.
Veto Jackets are identified by veto number referenced in the Legislative Digest.
5. Identify Legislative committees by determing bill numbers from the Legislative Digest.
6. Search the our online catalog for Law Revision Commission reports. The history of the code section (Step 1) should mention the report if one exists. Our online catalog determines if the Law Library holds the report in our collection.
