Assign Bills So Everyone Stays in the Loop

When legislation starts moving, you can’t afford confusion over who’s responsible for what. Bill assignments give structure to your process, helping you involve the right people, keep them informed, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Assign to the Right People, Groups, or Organizations

You can assign a bill to an individual, a group (like a policy committee, subject matter experts, or a department), or even an outside organization. For example, a lobbyist might assign bills to specific clients, or a local government might assign them to individual counties. Sometimes you’re asking for input, and sometimes you just want someone to be aware of the issue. Assignments help you do both.

Keep Assigned Users Focused and Informed

Assigned bills show up in a user’s “My Bills” list and can be tracked through a “Pending Actions” view if feedback is expected. For group assignments, the bill stays visible until each member has submitted their analysis. Users can also get email reminders listing only the bills still waiting on their input, delivered on a schedule that works for them. It’s a smart way to keep people accountable without micromanaging.

Filter, Share, and Report by Assignment

Assignments help organize your entire workspace. You can:

Filter committee calendars to show only meetings with assigned bills
Add assignment info to reports and share those with staff, members, or stakeholders
Schedule filtered reports that automatically send each person or group just the bills assigned to them
Filter your public dashboard to show bills by assignment, making it easier for others to follow specific issues

Bill Assignments are one of the easiest ways to stay coordinated when session is moving fast.
