Bills in Congress
Every bill and resolution introduced in the House or Senate is recorded on Congress.gov, the Library of Congress's website. Each has a sponsor, a policy area and a running list of actions: referred to a committee, passed a chamber, signed into law. This feed lists them by the date of their latest action, so the ones that moved most recently come first.
- Where it comes from
Congress.gov, the Library of Congress's website of the official legislative record.
Who reports it: The Library of Congress publishes it, from the official record of the House and Senate. The sponsor is the member who introduced the bill.

- Coverage
- Mostly bills introduced since 2023, the start of the 118th Congress.
- Worth knowing
- Introducing a bill is not the same as passing it: most bills never get a vote, and many resolutions only mark an occasion. Policy areas are assigned after introduction, so the newest bills may have none. The party shown is the sponsor's party in the congressional record. Searching by words looks at titles only, and when you do, the date window is lifted so every match shows. Placeholder numbers the House reserves for its leaders are left out.
