10 tools listed at last check
  • search_legislation Search FULL BILL TEXT -- not just known-bill-number lookup. `q` is matched against titles, descriptions, AND ingested document text via Postgres websearch_to_tsquery (supports "quoted phrases", OR, and -exclusion, same syntax as a search engine), with a fuzzy pg_trgm title-similarity
  • get_bill_record Fetch the full record for one bill: metadata, sponsors, subjects, actions, versions, and vote-event summaries. Look up by canonical bill_id (UUID), or by jurisdiction + identifier (+ optional session to disambiguate). For a human bill number like HB 123, use jurisdiction="NC", identi
  • compare_bill_versions Deterministic diff (unified + structured) between two versions of a bill's extracted text. Defaults to earliest vs. latest texted version if version ids are omitted. Errors if fewer than 2 versions have extracted text. Result is labeled 'derived' (computed by Bill Commons, not an off
  • find_similar_bills Find bills with similar titles via deterministic trigram similarity, across jurisdictions. Labeled 'derived' -- not an official cross-reference or companion-bill designation.
  • get_vote_details Fetch vote event(s) with member-level (yes/no/other/absent) vote records. Provide vote_event_id for one vote, or bill_id for all recorded votes on that bill.
  • trace_legislative_history Full chronological legislative history for a bill: merged timeline of actions, version publications, and votes, plus related-bill links.
  • build_legislative_evidence_packet Compile a citation-ready evidence packet for a bill: full official record, legislative history timeline, votes with member-level detail, and hearings -- each explicitly labeled official vs. derived with source URLs. Returns a `how_to_cite` block with a one-line `cite_as` sentence, a hum
  • get_jurisdiction_coverage Return the jurisdiction_coverage state-machine status for one state (abbreviation or name), or the full stored coverage matrix if state is omitted. Public-registry and unlisted row counts are explicit. Includes bounded retained official-source observation health and evidence links. Cover
  • get_active_sessions List legislative sessions currently flagged active, optionally filtered by jurisdiction (two-letter state code or name).
  • list_topics List Bill Commons' curated cross-state topic trackers (e.g. artificial intelligence, youth online safety, platform accountability, cybersecurity, cryptocurrency, data privacy, local government & preemption) -- the entry point for "what subjects does Bill Commons track across all 50 s
