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.

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.

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.
