search_bills
shallowio.github.pipeworx-io/congress · Verify this server
ANSWERS "what bills about X has Congress introduced" / "recent congressional bills on X" / "federal legislation about X" — searches US FEDERAL congressional bills (US House & Senate, national laws) BY SUBJECT OR KEYWORD, including recently introduced ones. Prefer this over a date-sorted recent-bills listing whenever the question names a topic, since only this tool can filter by it. Returns bill type, number, title, status, sponsor, and introduction date. Use get_bill with the ID for full details. NOTE: this is the US Congress (federal) ONLY — for STATE legislature bills (e.g. California, Texas, New York, or any US state legislation) use legiscan or openstates instead, not this tool.
