While searching for bills, results will appear in the form of a card. The bill card contains the most important information on each bill, as well as your history of interaction with the bill:
The bill number and latest action are located at the top of the bill card, above the session year.
Below the session is the title of the bill.
Below the title is the latest status update of the bill.
The bill author is below the status. If a bill has multiple authors, the number following the displayed author's name shows the total number of authors behind the bill.
If a bill is set to be heard in committee or on the floor, there will be an indication on the bill card in purple. You can click on this purple button to add the hearing to your digital calendar.
The Red or Grey dot on the top left corner of every card indicates whether you have opened the bill or not. If the dot is red, then you have yet to open the bill. Bills that have been opened have a grey dot.
You can mark bills as reviewed by clicking "Unreviewed." Mark a bill as reviewed, then exclude this bill from your search results by clicking the "Unreviewed" checkbox in the filter settings.
By toggling on Alerts from the bill card, whether you choose All Alerts or specific actions like Vote, you opt in to receive an Alert whenever there is action on a bill. Alerts for tracked bills will populate in the "Alerts" sidebar to the left of your screen, as shown below.
