What This Skill Does
Monitors state legislative activity by querying the LegiScan API for bills matching specified keywords. Filters results by state and bill status, and can be run manually or on a schedule.
LegiScan aggregates all 50 states into one API, so you avoid scraping individual state legislature websites.
When to use it
- Tracking crypto-related bills in a specific state
- Monitoring AI regulation legislation across sessions
- Alerting a policy team when new bills match their focus area
- Running weekly cron jobs to catch new legislative filings
- Researching active vs. completed bills on a topic
