Finding Amendments in the Final Days of Session
Lobbytools Staff

As session starts to wind down, keeping track of all of the amendments filed and added to your bills can be a nightmare. But harnessing the power of Lobbytools, you can make sense of what is going on at the Capitol and ensure that no amendment slips through the cracks.

Tips & Tricks: Statute Tracking
LobbyTools Staff

Most people rely on keyword searches to find bills of interest.  But what you must know is - bills don't always include the keywords you expect.  What bills do include however are statute references.  So, while a bill may use the word instruction instead of education - it can't exclude the specific statute the bill proposes to change.  And that is just one reason statute tracking is so powerful.
