Each day they are in session, members of the House and Senate introduce anywhere from a handful to hundreds of new bills. Finding the few noteworthy measures of interest to the technology industry buried within that legislative haystack, and deciphering the lawmaking lingo, can be a challenge. These Bill Status pages make the task much easier.
Our summaries of the hottest bills cut through the congressional jargon to explain what those measures would do and why they matter to the technology industry. Our bill roundup every Friday that Congress is in session serves as a quick guide to all tech-related measures -- even those that have no chance of action. And the voting guide tracks floor action on the most significant pieces of legislation.
Bill Status also includes links to running Technology Daily coverage of the federal budget and appropriations process, to special editorial packages we compile on various topics, and to our archived legislative features dating back to the 106th Congress. If we have missed a hot bill that you think deserves deeper coverage, please let us know. And if you have questions, comments or suggestions about how to improve these pages, please contact Editor K. Daniel Glover.
