Passed resolves, 1777-2007.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/83026697

Legislation originates in the General Court as petitions filed by members on their own behalf or that of citizens or groups of citizens; appropriation bills from the House Ways and Means Committee; messages from the governor; or reports from state officers, agencies, or commissions. Resolves, originally used for most legislative actions, in modern times have dealt with matters of a relatively immediate or temporary nature. Passed resolves are those resulting from the legislative process that have been approved by the legislature and signed into law by the governor. Files for 1989-1995, 1998, 2000-2001, 2004, 2006-2007 (none for 1996-1997, 1999, 2002-2003, 2005) included with: Passed acts ((M-Ar)229) Files for 1692-1776 and most files for 1777-1783 are found in: Massachusetts archives collection ((M-Ar)45X) (1775-1783 in v. 206-239--see also: Indexes below).
