NCSL Education Bill Tracking Database
Overview
Each year, state legislatures across the country introduce thousands of education bills. Education is one of the most legislated topics in the state legislatures. NCSL Education Program attempts to compile and list these bills each legislative session to facilitate the sharing of ideas among states. The scope of the legislation is vast within K-12 and higher education, varying in their approaches and content, as well as representing the unique legislative processes of the states.
The Education Bill Tracking Database compiles enacted state legislation concerning over 50 education issues. They are organized by the calendar year the bill is enacted into law. Bills from 2008 to present are made available through State Net. Summaries of the bills are provided by State Net, as well as Education Program staff. Please visit individual state legislatures’ Web sites for full texts and other details of the bills.
For more information or questions concerning the database contact: Josh Cunnningham, NCSL Staff Liaison.
