Which statement about obtaining copies of a bill is accurate?

Which statement about obtaining copies of a bill is accurate?

• A. The Texas Legislative Council website
• B. The Texas Legislature Online website
• C. Both websites
• D. The Governor's website

Answer: (C)

Access to official bill texts comes from the Legislature’s own resources, and both primary sites host copies. The Texas Legislature Online site provides the bill text, history, amendments, sponsors, and current status, so you can see how the bill moves through the process. The Texas Legislative Council site contains the official bill text, along with summaries and fiscal notes that help explain potential impacts. Because each site supports viewing and obtaining the bill in different but complementary ways, you can obtain copies from either. The Governor’s site isn’t the standard repository for the official bill text, as it focuses on executive actions and related materials rather than the legislative bill itself.
