House Video/Audio Services keeps minutes of committee proceedings and witness affirmation forms from previous legislatures dating back to 1973. These records are available for review in the office. Copies can be ordered at a cost of 10 cents per page.

House Video/Audio Services also maintains audio recordings from all meetings of the full house and from all public hearings held by house committees and subcommittees since 1973. Audio recordings can be listened to, without charge, in the House Video/Audio Services office. Generally, transcripts are not available, but copies of audio recordings can be purchased for $5 per recording, plus the cost of copying corresponding recording logs. Live broadcasts and archived recordings of recent house floor proceedings and committee meetings can be accessed through the house website.

Requests for minutes or audio recordings may be submitted by mail or by fax. The office will provide a notarized certification of a recording or a set of minutes on request at no additional charge. All requests should include:

1. legislative session number or year;
2. date of committee hearing or meeting;
3. house or senate bill or resolution number (if applicable);
4. a telephone number or address at which the requestor can be contacted; and
5. the requestor's signature.

Minutes and witness affirmation forms for the current legislative session are maintained in the House Committee Coordinator’s Office.
