Try asking
- Brief me on Alabama HB 314.
- What bills in Georgia mention school funding this session?
- How did my state senator vote on the budget?
- How do I contact Alabama Representative Rex Reynolds?
- Break down the final passage vote on that bill by party.
What you'll see
ChatGPT shows four interactive cards:
- A bill card: summary, path to becoming law, sponsors, documents and floor votes.
- Bill search results.
- A legislator's voting record.
- A contact card.
Bill documents open on their first page, with a button to read them full screen.
Limits
- State legislatures only: not the U.S. Congress, local governments or ballot measures.
- Some roll calls have no individual votes on record; they show as not recorded, never as 0–0.
- Research support, not an authoritative legal record.
