It's common for bills to be introduced in one congress, ❌ fail to pass, and resurface with modifications in a later congress.

No matter how subtle, these changes can significantly ❗ impact the bill's implications.

As a result we found it important to identify bill relationships across bienniums, and show these to you on the site.

⚖️ You can now spot these differences 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸 and act appropriately.

Enhancements like this change the way you 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀.

Do you have a standard procedure when advocating for a bill? This might look like:

• Schedule time with each member of the bill's committee
• Reach out to clients to schedule a drive-in
• Prepare statement for public hearing
• (the list goes on!)

OurGov now allows you to link ✔️📋 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 to 📜 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀, enabling you to see what the status is for every bill you're advocating on behalf of.
