The survey was requested by a number of the members of the 1939 Iegislature as a guide toward a more effective and expedient handling of the accumulation of questions and problems that confront the state’s law makers. _ The survey, a fact finding study, gives arguments both for and against legislative councils. It points out, however, that such bodies now exist in seven states, Kansas, , Nebraska, Virginia, Kentucky, Connecticut, Illinoios: and that the tendency is to increase the appropriations for thes bodies because of the effective work they do in tightening up legislative detail and operation, framing easily gram in the interims, prepared on the foundation of thorough research and understandable programs and overcoming the confusion of inexperienced legislators. : The virtiies of the well planned legislative council as a time saver and a@ money saver,’ is set forth in the study.

Since 1904, California has maintained a reference service for legislators through the state library. In 1913 the legislative council was established to give technical assistance in bill drafting and to advise the occasional necessity of law revision.
