Legis — Legislative data and research
Available

Legislative information with context and traceable sources.

Following a bill across sessions, sponsors, committees, and votes usually means stitching together state websites, PDFs, and tallies. Legis brings that record into one place and keeps track of where every piece came from.

One record of what legislatures did, and who did it.

Bills and votes

Bills, sponsors and cosponsors, amendments, timelines, roll calls, and how each legislator voted.

Voting patterns

Party splits, members who broke with their party, polarization, close votes, and committee throughput.

Summaries with provenance

AI-written bill summaries that keep the model, prompt version, and date that produced them, with a review state on each.

Policy areas

Bills sorted into the Congressional Research Service's subject vocabulary, so the same topic is the same topic across states.

Money and votes

Campaign finance alongside voting records, presented with a built-in disclaimer: a pattern is not proof of influence.

Access for AI tools

A connector for AI assistants that can search, describe, and cite Legis records, and check that citations are real.

Congress and eight states.

Federal records from 2013, and most states from the 2015–16 sessions. Coverage, including full bill text, varies by jurisdiction and is still being extended.

Planned: Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

Where the data comes from.

Bill and vote records come from LegiScan under the CC BY 4.0 license. Some bill text comes directly from official legislature websites. Subject terms follow the Congressional Research Service vocabulary.
