Find the policy connected to your mission
Bill Radar monitors legislation across all 50 states, D.C. and the U.S. Congress — and rulemaking in the states as well as Washington — so there is one place to find the policy that matters to your organization.
Search bill text directly, explore legislation by meaning, or narrow the results with Boolean AND / OR / NOT and field filters like sponsor:, status: and jurisdiction:.
Not sure what to search for? Give Bill Genius your organization’s website. It reads your mission, priorities and issues, then surfaces the legislation you should be tracking.
Once you find a bill, follow its sponsors, votes, actions, status and committees — and read the official text wherever the legislature publishes a machine-readable copy.

If passed, the "Stop Illegal Entry Act of 2025" [HR 3486] would significantly increase criminal penalties for non-U.S. nationals who illegally enter the United States, imposing mandatory minimum sentences and longer maximum terms for repeated offenses. The "SECURE America Act" [HR 5572] would change the current process for admitting refugees by requiring Congressional approval for the number of refugees allowed each fiscal year and implementing restrictions based on beliefs deemed incompatible with U.S. principles. While both bills aim to tighten immigration controls, they diverge in focus—HR 3486 emphasizes criminal penalties, while HR 5572 concentrates on refugee admissions. Of these, HR 3486 has moderate passage odds, making it the most likely to advance.

Find similar legislation across jurisdictions
A policy rarely shows up in one statehouse only. Cross-state bill matching shows you where the same policy is already moving in other states — matched by meaning rather than keywords, so it surfaces the relatives an ordinary search never returns.
Spot policy trends early
A bill introduced in one state often appears in several more. Seeing the first one is the difference between shaping a policy and reacting to it.
Find related bills automatically
Matching on meaning uncovers connections a keyword search misses — including bills that never use your search terms.
Reuse what you have already built
Testimony, fact sheets and talking points written for one state travel to the next bill that means the same thing.
See the whole picture, not one bill
Every bill links to its closest relatives in other jurisdictions, so you are reading a national position rather than a single filing.

Know it moved before the hearing
Hearing scheduled, amendment filed, vote taken, signed into law — when a bill you follow changes, the alert goes out as soon as we see it. We re-read Congress every few hours and every state legislature daily, so the change reaches you while there is still something to do about it.
A weekly digest rounds up what moved on your list, and the “bills you’re missing” digest surfaces new legislation that matches your issues before you have thought to search for it.

Regulations in the states, not just Washington
Rulemaking moves on a clock, and most of it never reaches Washington. We read the Federal Register AND the states’ own registers every day — proposed rules, the agencies behind them, and the comment deadline on each one — so the window closes with your comment in it rather than after it.
Explore the Regulation Tracker →See exactly what changed
A bill says “Section 12 is amended by striking ‘three’ and inserting ‘five’”. Here is what that actually does to the law:
§ 12-4-105 — as amended by HB 42
An applicant shall renew the permit every three five years.
The department shall publish each renewal decision within 30 days.
