One of the challenges of keeping up with the General Assembly is the sheer number of bills that are filed. Which ones are good or bad, which ones have a chance of passing, which ones bear watching?
To make it easier for our members to be informed, we have installed Bill Trackers. This software updates every night, pulling all the information on each bill from the official LRC site. You can see the progress of each bill, the filed summary of the bill, the full text, and much more.
Note that to get access to the Bill Trackers, you have to be at the Partner, Partner Plus, or Sustainer levels.
Here are the four bill sheets we have set up:
- All filed bills
- Bills that have “crossed over” (been passed in their first chamber and sent to the other chamber for consideration)
- Bills we are monitoring, because we think they are important but we haven’t take a position on them
- Our list of Key Legislation, along with our position on each bill
Before using the Bill Trackers for the first time, you should watch this short video that explains some of the features.
