Journals are available from January 24, 2001 to the present. We have made reasonable efforts to assure the accuracy of the data, but this is NOT the official version of the House Journal. These files have not been proofread against the events of the session. All information obtained from this source should be checked against a printed copy of the official version of the House Journal which may be obtained from the Legislative Document Room, State House, Room 428, Boston, MA 02133, Telephone: 617-722-2860. Under normal circumstances, we hope to have the journal available by noontime of the day after a session. NOTE: Beginning with the Journal of December 5, 2001, roll call records are available within the Journals. However, these files are in PDF format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to view them. The free reader can be downloaded by clicking the Adobe Image below.
A quick way to retrieve the roll call records for the 182nd or 183rd session is to use the following form.

If you wish to bypass the menus and get a specific House Journal, use a URL of "http://www.mass.gov/legis/journal/hjDATE.htm", where DATE is a six digit number denoting the date of the journal (use a leading zero to pad single digit months or days). This applies to all journals prior to 2004. Starting in 2004 all journals are in PDF format requiring the file ending of ".pdf"
