Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

Bills (proposed laws) are specialized, structured documents with great public significance. Often, the language of a bill may not directly explain the potential impact of the legislation. This dataset collects the text of bills and some metadata. As a result, this dataset collects bill text; it also provides text as a list of sections with the text and header.
