BillTrack50 Boosts Nonprofits' Access to State Legislation with AI-Generated Bill Summaries
In a move aimed at enhancing civic engagement, LegiNation, Inc., a force in the realm of legislative tracking, has announced an expansion of its flagship BillTrack50 platform with the addition of AI generated bill summaries. This feature gives association and non-profit executives an edge in understanding impacts of legislation by offering clear, concise, AI-generated summaries of state and federal bills – all at no cost.
Karen Suhaka, founder and president of LegiNation, Inc., spearheads this initiative with a vision to enhance democratic participation.
“Our mission to make democracy more accessible takes a significant leap forward with these new easy to understand bill summaries,” stated Suhaka. “Our democracy thrives on informed participation, as does running associations and non-profits. These plain English summaries are designed to empower the executives with the ability to swiftly grasp the essence of legislative proposals. It’s not just an advancement; it’s a revolution in access to the legislative process,” Suhaka remarked.
The urgency for such an initiative is underscored by the staggering volume of legislation introduced across the United States every year. According to Suhaka, a staggering 170,000 bills have been introduced in current sessions across the 50 states and Congress. The 118th Congress alone has produced around 14,000 bills, with a total word count of over 23 million words, and it’s not finished yet. BillTrack50 addresses this challenge head-on, offering a practical solution that encourages broader participation in the democratic process.
BillTrack50’s freemium model demonstrates its commitment to fostering an informed citizenry. While advanced features are available through a paid subscription, the platform ensures free access to essential services, including the bill summaries, bill searches, and information on legislators and committees. While BillTrack50 presents a tiered offering to cater to varying needs, from individuals to large organizations, the essence of the service remains universally available, emphasizing the belief that active participation in democracy should not be gated by financial barriers.
“Our platform is designed to serve a dual purpose: to empower ordinary citizens with free access to legislative information and to provide today’s association and non-profit executives with powerful tools for advocacy and analysis,” explained Suhaka. “Not everyone needs professional tracking tools,” Suhaka says, “but we all need help consuming the vast amount of content the government puts out. These new AI summaries are a step towards that goal, leveling the playing field for everyone interested in understanding and influencing legislation.”
