BillTrack50 Help Center

As part of our AI Assist service, we have an AI-generated similar bills feature. On bill pages there is a tab called Similar Bills. When you click on this tab, for a bill in a 2024 session or later, an AI tool will generate a list of bills that are similar to the bill you are looking at. See this post for more details about the Similar Bills tab.

You can use these similar bills to help you find good keyword search terms.

Imagine that I want to track legislation related to autonomous vehicles in California but I'm not sure exactly what search terms to use. I can perform a Quick Search (from the main navigation menu on the left) for "autonomous vehicles", to find a good bill, or maybe I already know at least one good bill, such as AB1777.

I can click on the bill number and choose the Similar Bills tab. I now have a list of 100 bills to look at, with the most relevant likely to be at the top:

I can then scan the bill text and AI summaries of good matches for other phrases. That way, I'll quickly find other words and phrases that will help improve my query, such as “Autonomous technology”, "driverless vehicle", "self-driving cars" and so on.
