	Legislature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In presidential systems of government, the legislature is considered a power branch which is equal to, and independent of, the executive.
		Most legislatures are either bicameral or unicameral, although historically there have also been rare incidences of two separate chambers, usually described as an upper house and a lower house, which may differ in duties, powers, and methods for the selection of members.
		Although the final draft of legislation introduced by the government almost always passes, these legislatures are generally not labelled "rubber stamps" because legislators are involved in the drafting and amendment of bills.

	Wikinfo \| State legislature
		A state legislature will usually go into session shortly after the first of the year and remain in session for several months considering matters referred to it by the governor of the state or introduced by members.
		Prior to the Voting Rights Act, many state legislatures were organized so that each body represented citizens according to a different principle; for example, by small single-member districts in the lower chamber and at large by county in the upper.
		State legislatures elected the U.S. Senators from their states until the ratification of the 17th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1913.

	richard's ramblings...: Voting History vs Personal Privacy...
		Voter lists are comprised largely of personal information supplied by voters when they filled out their voter registration forms.
		Now that voter lists are widely available in a computerized format, they are also easy to duplicate, transfer and utilize in connection with other lists and databases.
		State legislatures are required to draw new districts every ten years to ensure that legislative districts within a state have a relatively equal numbers of residents, and they often use voter registration data for the redistricting process.

	State legislature - dKosopedia
		State legislatures are the lawmaking bodies of the 50 states of the United States.
		They are the legislative branch at the state level of government, and (generally) perform many of the same duties on the state level that the United States Congress performs on the federal level.
		Many members of state legislatures meet every year at the annual meeting, and other meetings, of the National Conference of State Legislatures, which is headquartered in Denver and has a lobbying office in Washington, D.C. The American Legislative Exchange Council, a conservative organization focusing on state legislatures, also has an annual meeting attracting many legislators.

	The Electoral College (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The manner of choosing the Electors was left to the individual State legislatures, thereby pacifying States suspicious of a central national government.
		Instead, the expression "Electors for" usually appears in fine print on the ballot in front of each set of candidates for president and vice president (or else the State law specifies that votes cast for the candidates are to be counted as being for the slate of delegates pledged to those candidates).
		This is because the number of Electors for each State is determined by the number of members it has in the House (which more or less reflects the State's population size) plus the number of members it has in the Senate (which is always two regardless of the State's population).

	U.S._state - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia
		The states are required to give "full faith and credit" to the acts of each other's legislatures and courts, which is generally held to include the recognition of legal contracts, marriages, criminal judgments, and—at the time—slave status.
		All state legislatures but Nebraska's are bicameral, meaning that they have two houses (one upper and one lower).
		The most substantial difference between states is that many rural states have part-time legislatures, while the states with the highest populations tend to have full-time legislatures.

	American College of Surgeons Advocacy and Health Policy: ACS Cross Country: July 2006
		All but a handful of state legislatures have adjourned their legislative sessions for the year, and for most state legislators the focus is now on elections in the fall.
		During election years, state legislatures are generally hesitant to pass any truly controversial legislation –; and 2006 turned out to be a fairly quiet year as a result.
		This is not an exclusive list, however, and 27 percent of the bills that ACS is tracking do not fall into one of the five broad categories.

	Female & black legislators more likely than others to prioritize children's health
		And when they looked at what child health bills actually passed in the legislature and and received the governor's signature, the only factor that seemed to matter was the overall pattern of bill passage in the particular state where the bill was introduced.
		Their study built on previous work by other researchers that found women legislators are more likely to put forth bills regarding health in general, and African-American legislators are more likely to introduce bills related to welfare and education policy.
		Many of these bills never made it into law, but may have been introduced by legislators to "signal" to their constituents that they were advocating a particular position, or to distinguish themselves from potential opponents.

		Third, individual state legislatures specify which vaccines and how many doses are required (or authorize a state health agency to put new vaccines on the compulsory list).
		Despite the fact that several babies in clinical trials had developed serious bowel obstructions, the information sheet handed out to parents as their babies received the shot noted only that possible complications "included moderate fever, increased irritability, and decreased appetite and activity." Wyeth was forced to recall the vaccine within months of its initial release.
		In recent years, the list of vaccines required for Tennessee children entering school or licensed childcare centers has risen to 13 doses of several different vaccines before age five.

		The state legislature is against abortion, birth control, emergency contraception—all of which, in their view, constitutes abortion." Mississippi has only one abortion clinic and some of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws in the country.
		Lower-income women were left to their own devices, which were horrible, or to back-alley abortions." Activists are organizing visibility events, maintaining a presence in the committee meetings, and mobilizing phone calls to legislatures hoping to keep the legislation from going to conference committee, leaving it to die this session.
