In titaniumtroop/aRlegislation: A Dataset of Arkansas Legislation from 2001-2019

A dataset for Arkansas legislation. The format is a nested tibble; the nesting variables are the beginning year of each two-year legislative cycle and the type (and number, if applicable) of the session. There are three tibbles within each cycle/session. The first contains information about all acts passed during the relevant cycle/session, including the text of the act, the title and subtitle, the act and bill number, and the partisanship of the act (i.e., whether it was passed by a single party, a committee, or in a bipartisan fashion). The second tibble provides demographic information about the lawmakers who sponsored legislation during the cycle session, including variables such as chamber, party, seniority (a negative integer, since lower numbers are better), committee membership, district, prior public service, veteran status, and church affiliation. The third table contains act sponsorship information in a simple list of sponsor name and act number.
