The two largest series of records from the Revisor of Statute's Office contain information about proposed new statutes and statute changes from individual members of the legislation and from legislative committees. A third, smaller series, contains information about proposed changes to and new rules and regulations for the various state agencies/commissions/boards and other state governing entities. Other series from this agency contain auditors' reports or legal cases and may concern the Interstate Cooperation Commission, the Legislative Council and Legislative Counsel, the Legislative Coordinating Council, or the Motor Vehicle Reciprocity Commission.
