Local & Ordinance Tracking

Bill tracking doesn't stop at the statehouse

Counties, cities, school boards, special districts, and all of New York City Council, tracked the same way as a state legislature. No place is too small.

The problem

The ordinance that changes everything never shows up in a state-level search

The zoning variance, the franchise fee, the curriculum vote, a statehouse tracker never sees any of it. These bodies move fast and publish almost nothing. USLege watches them anyway, the same way it watches a state legislature.

USLege has been a lifesaver this session. As a small city, we don't have many resources to keep up with the thousands of bills presented each session. USLege has allowed us to streamline our bill tracking and manage our time so much more efficiently.
