== About ILP ==
Inside the Legislative Process converts decades of ASLCS survey data into a searchable, continuously maintained knowledge base of state legislative procedure. Survey responses are preserved as historical records and verified over time by legislative staff; each topic page lists the chambers whose answers still need confirmation. State pages are living institutional profiles — they grow as new surveys are added, and no state needs to be complete to have a page.
