Good to know
Does it follow votes, sponsors or lobbying?
No. It holds the texts: rules, notices, bills and reports, beside company filings.
Does it cover state law?
No. State legislatures and state agencies are not included.
How current and complete is it?
The Federal Register is read several times a day and bills once a day, so a new text can take some hours to appear. Not every notice or version of a bill is included.
