The
New York Legislative Bill Drafting Commission (LBDC) aids the
New York State Legislature in drafting legislation; advises as to the constitutionality, consistency or effect of proposed legislation; conducts research; and publishes and maintains the documents of the Legislature.
It is composed of two commissioners.
The LBDC maintains the Legislative Retrieval System (LRS) containing the full record of Legislature activity, for which it charges $2500 per session for access. The LRS version of the ''
Consolidated Laws'' is published under statutory authority and is available online but is not certified pursuant to
Public Officers Law § 70-b. The LBDC also publishes the ''
Laws of New York''.
The LBDC is composed of two commissioners, the Commissioner for Administration and the Commissioner for Operations, each appointed jointly by the
Temporary President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the Assembly.
