This quick reference guide to each state's laws on electronic recordings is put out by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. While directed at journalists, it serves as a valuable reference tool with "plain English" summaries of the law. It is not an in-depth treatment of legal issues surrounding the taping of conversations, but it serves as a general introduction to the laws.
