Chapter 6: State Legislatures

Links open in new window.

To find out what's up in state legislatures, the place to look is the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Most states have created web sites that allow citizens to follow the progress of legislation during the session. See, for example, New Mexico's site at http://www.legis.state.nm.us/.

Another interesting web site is Project Vote Smart, which tracks the performance of political leaders, including state legislators.

To learn about model state laws, look at the site for the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.

For up-to-date coverage of the term limits issue, visit the U.S. Term Limits organization's web page.

The Center for Public Integrity is a watchdog organization that scrutinizes-and regularly criticizes - state legislatures.
