Simple English definitions for legal terms

legislative history

Read a random definition: ad gaolam deliberandam

A quick definition of legislative history:

Legislative history refers to the events and information that led to the creation of a law. This includes things like meetings, reports, and discussions that happened before the law was passed. Sometimes, this information is written down so that people can use it to better understand what the law means.

A more thorough explanation:

Legislative history refers to the events and background that led to the creation of a law. This includes things like hearings, committee reports, and debates that took place during the legislative process.

For example, if a law was passed to regulate the use of drones, the legislative history might include hearings where experts testified about the safety concerns of drones, committee reports that outlined the proposed regulations, and debates on the floor of the legislature about the merits of the proposed law.

Legislative history is important because it can help us understand the intent behind a law. By looking at the events and discussions that led to its creation, we can better understand what the lawmakers were trying to accomplish and how they intended the law to be interpreted and enforced.
