Ohio legislative history on Westlaw

Westlaw has created a short document summarizing Ohio legislative history documents available in its database. The two-page .pdf summary is posted here. This is a continuing expansion of its StatutesPlus features. Ohio's files on Westlaw include material from current legislative sessions; each file varies in coverage.

The new files are:
OH-LH (Ohio Legislative History file of all 10 databases)
OH-LH-REP (Ohio Legislative Service Commission bill analyses)
OH-LH-JRNLS (Legislative Journals from the House of Representatives)
OH-LH-MSG (Ohio Legislative Messages from the governor)

The following files have previously been on Westlaw, but are now also gathered in the Legislative History database:
OH-BILLTXT
OH-BILLTRK
OH-BILLS
OH-BILLS-OLD
OH-BILLTXT-OLD
OH-BILLTRK-OLD
