- Historical Amendments Considered
- Bill Reports
- For past sessions’ bills, there does not appear to be a search mechanism of any kind; instead, this link will take you to Browse Bills, which will allow you to see any bills from a selected year (back to 2005) that had some action taken on them that year
- As these lists are rather long, the best advice would be to hit Ctrl+F and search the page for keywords that might bring up a proposed constitutional amendment. To make matters more complicated, the language appears to differ from year to year, so no uniform keyword is apparent; for example, searching the page of 2005 bills with Constitution will not bring up any hits, because the one constitutional amendment in that year’s list is abbreviated Const’l (S1079); in 2010, in contrast, Const’l will not bring up any hits, because the one amendment listed is entitled Amend Constitution (H2079); if you are concerned about missing any potential amendments due to this vocabulary flux, you can search Amend, but this will bring up many more hits to amendments of various laws, so you will have to scroll through each hit looking for the constitutional amendments.
