About LegiList

  • Mission: LegiList makes public lawmaking records easier to understand and search. We focus on clear structure, transparent sourcing, and zero editorial spin.
  • Coverage Scope: LegiList covers federal congressional activity, state-level legislation across all 50 states, executive branch documents, and federal lobbying disclosures in one unified platform.
  • Federal Coverage: LegiList includes every bill from the 107th Congress (2001-2002) to the present, plus sponsor and cosponsor relationships, committees, actions, votes, related bills, laws, and member profiles.
  • State Coverage: LegiList tracks state bills, state legislators, and policy categories with state-specific filters and browsing pages designed for practical research.
  • Executive Coverage: LegiList tracks presidents, executive orders, proclamations, signing statements, vetoes, and linked federal bill references where available.
  • Lobbying Coverage: LegiList includes federal lobbying disclosure filings submitted to the U.S. Senate under the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA), covering registrants, clients, lobbyists, issue areas, foreign principal disclosures, and political contribution reports.
  • My LegiList: A personalized dashboard where users can enter an address to identify their U.S. Representative and Senators, pin federal lawmakers, committees, and bills, and follow a tailored activity feed. Address information and pin data are stored locally in the browser, not on LegiList servers.
  • Developer API: LegiList also offers a federal-first, read-only API for bills, legislators, laws, committees, votes, and topics. API access uses verified email and published usage limits so developers can query structured public records directly.
