Researchers from FiscalNote Research, a technology firm based in Washington, DC, have released a dataset of U.S. Congressional and California state bills to advance the development of systems that can summarize legislation. The dataset contains more than 22,000 U.S. Congressional bills and summaries from 1993 through 2018 and more than 1,200 California state bills and summaries from 2015-2016. While the Congressional Research Service summarizes federal bills, summaries for many state and local bills are not available.
