Q. How do I cite a bill from a state legislature in APA, 6th edition?

The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, does not provide an example of citing a bill (a bill being not yet a statute until passed). This is APA’s example of a federal bill (p. 222 of the APA manual).

“Title [if relevant], bill or resolution number, xxx Cong. (year).

If we apply the “spirit” of the form to the Oregon state bill, we would be looking at something like this –

House Bill 2191, 80th Oregon Legislative Assembly (2019).

A few notes.

A saw no apparent name for the bill, so per APA’s instructions, I did not include it.

Again, because this is an online source, and the way most people would access a copy, and because APA’s example is based on print, you could add a retrieval statement which would make the citation look like this* –

House Bill 2191, 80th Oregon Legislative Assembly (2019). Retrieved from https://olis.leg.state.or.us/ liz/2019R1/Downloads/MeasureDocument/HB2191/Introduced
