As you know, I love to do heat maps showing where certain topics are hot. Hydraulic fracturing, legislation about disasters, in addition to my incessant counting of bills introduced and passed by state.  We also have the map of current bills introduced that you can always see linked right on our home page.

But what about the topics you are interested in? Wouldn’t you like to see your bills on a map? Now you can! If you open one of your bill sheets with bills in multiple states, you’ll see you have a new map tab. The map will show you the distribution of the bills currently on your bill sheet. I hope you are as excited as I am with this new feature!

On the website the map is interactive, so examples won’t do the map justice. None the less.
