Comparing Bills Across Legislative Sessions

Feature Overview

What This Is

Identify and view related versions of a bill, such as those introduced in different legislative sessions or chambers.

Why It Matters

Understand how a bill evolves over time by seeing its legislative history and changes across sessions. This helps you track the trajectory of key policies without manually searching for prior versions.

Key Components

• Companion Bill Linking: The system automatically identifies and links related bills, known as companion bills.
• Aggregated Bill View: When viewing a bill that has a companion, information for both bills is displayed together on the bill page. This includes:
  • Bill numbers for both versions.
  • Primary sponsors for each chamber.
  • The last legislative action for each bill.
  • Separate legislative progress trackers for each chamber.
• Companion Bill Badge: Bill cards display a badge to indicate that a companion bill exists, allowing you to track it directly.
