Advanced Bill Search

Search bills by what happened to them, not just what they say

USLege lets you filter bills by their history, such as amended in the last seven days or left pending in committee, and by the statute they change, who sponsors them, and which teammate owns them.

The problem

Keyword search cannot answer the questions you actually get asked

Which bills were amended this week? Which ones died in committee? Which ones touch a specific section of the code? Which ones does nobody on my team own? Those are questions about history, law, and people, and a keyword box answers none of them.

Filters that read like the question you actually have

Combine what happened, a window of time, a statute section, and your team's assignments in one search.

How it works

Ask a question about the bills, not just the words

STEP 1

Choose the state and session

Search one state, several, or all of them, across the sessions you care about.

STEP 2

Add what happened or what it changes

Filter by what happened to a bill, where it is now, the statute it changes, or who sponsors it.

STEP 3

Save it to your workflow

Add the results to a track, assign a lead, or turn the search into a Radar rule.

Filters that match how the work actually goes

◆

What happened to a bill

Referred, heard, voted out of committee, calendared, voted on the floor, amended, crossed over, in conference, sent to the governor, enacted, or died, inside a window you pick.

◆

Where it is now

Introduced, in first committee, on the first floor, in second committee, on the second floor, with the governor, or became law.

◆

Each state's own action wording

Every state words actions differently. Filter on a state's own labels, such as Left pending in committee, instead of guessing at them.

◆

Bills that change a statute

Find every bill that adds, repeals, amends, or redesignates a specific section of law.

◆

Sponsors, authors, and roles

Primary author, coauthor, cosponsor, and the roles each state uses, included or excluded.

◆

Committees and policy areas

Include or exclude committees, and combine policy areas with any-of, all-of, or exclude logic.

◆

Your team's workflow

Bills assigned to you, by lead or member, by tag or track, reviewed or not yet.

◆

Citations that resolve

Type HB 5 88R, SB 599 89th Legislature, or Maine's LD 1036 and land on the exact bill.

For teams that ask precise questions

Questions

What do teams ask about advanced bill search?

Can I find bills amended in the last week? +
Yes. Filter by what happened to a bill, such as amended, and set the window to the last seven or thirty days or a custom range.
What is the exact-action filter? +
Each state words its bill actions differently. The exact-action filter lets you pick from a state's own action labels, such as Left pending in committee, so you match what that state actually calls it.
Can I find bills that change a specific statute? +
Yes. Choose a section of the code and USLege returns the bills that add, repeal, amend, or redesignate it.
Can I search only the bills assigned to me? +
Yes. You can filter to the bills where you are the lead or a team member, or by tag, track, or whether you have reviewed them.
Can I run these searches from Claude or ChatGPT? +
Yes. USLege MCP accepts the same filters in plain English, such as bills amended this week that touch a statute section.
