Bill Commons

Services

Custom tracking & consulting

Bill Commons is free and stays free. It's built and operated by GDACS, a data consulting shop — and the same team takes on custom work for policy teams, government-affairs shops, and lobbying firms that need more than the public site.

Custom watchlist pipelines

Your bill list, wired into your tools: hourly status monitoring over the change feed, alerts into Slack/email/your CRM, weekly briefing documents generated from real legislative movement.

Custom topic trackers

The public trackers cover AI, privacy, and crypto. We build private ones for your issue area — healthcare, energy, housing, licensing, anything — tuned with you for precision, refreshed nightly.

Integrations & data feeds

Bulk exports, direct database feeds, custom API endpoints, or a private instance with your own SLAs. If your team already has engineers, we get them productive against the API in a day.

AI agent setups

We connect Claude or your agent stack to legislative data via MCP and build the workflows on top — automated audits of your tracker, draft testimony research, reintroduction-candidate scans.

Case study: the 139-bill audit

A tech-policy monitoring team ran their full 139-bill watchlist through Bill Commons. One batch request resolved 130 of them; the comparison surfaced that three bills their previous tracking had marked "advancing" were actually dead — the sessions had adjourned. That finding led us to build adjournment-aware status into the public dataset, and led them to an automated hourly monitor over the change feed instead of manual re-checking.
