Frequently Asked Questions

This site is a free, AI‑powered tool that breaks down federal bills into plain English—before they're debated, amended, or enacted. The goal is to make legislative content accessible to everyone—no legal training required.

All bill texts, actions, and metadata are sourced from official government APIs such as Congress.gov API and GPO Bill Status bulk downloads (Library of Congress, GPO). Additional metadata (e.g. sponsors lists, voting records) may come from APIs like ProPublica's Congress API. All U.S. federal legislative text is public domain, making republication legal and encouraged.

Data appears on the site as soon as it's available from official sources—typically within 24 hours of a bill's introduction or status change. When a bill is enacted into law, corresponding updates (including related U.S. Code sections) are added as soon as they become publicly available.

Each bill is summarized using a large language model (e.g. GPT‑4) that extracts major provisions in straightforward, non-legalese language. The summaries are designed to give users a quick overview—but aren't a substitute for reading the full text, especially since every phrase could matter in legislative language.

No. The summaries and information on this site are for informational purposes only—not legal advice, tax guidance, or policy consultation. For critical matters or accurate interpretation, consult the original bill text or licensed legal professionals.

The AI is usually reliable, but mistakes can happen—such as mislabeling clauses, omitting details, or ambiguous phrasing. When that occurs:

• A disclaimer flag is added.
• Users are always provided with the full bill text to verify.
• An option to report an issue is available to improve future versions.

Federal legislative texts are in the public domain by U.S. law (17 U.S.C. § 105). You're free to read, reuse, or share them. Summaries are created by the site team (with AI help) and published under a Creative Commons CC BY‑SA license—just don't remove attribution.

The site uses minimal, privacy‑focused tools—such as basic analytics (like Google Analytics or Plausible) to track page visits and link clicks only. No personal info (IP, names, bill viewing habits) is stored or identified. You can clear cookies at any time or opt out via browser settings.

If you spot an error, want to suggest a feature, contribute a translation, or just drop praise, please do! The site actively encourages user feedback and community collaboration. Response turnaround is usually fast—no bots here, just human attention.

Yep! There's absolutely no paywall, no premium tier, and no ads asking for your soul. The site remains accessible to anyone interested in understanding legislation—no strings attached.
