Data Card for Congressional Bills Corpus
The raw data come from GovInfo bulk downloads. Files were preprocessed minimally to create pickled dataframes of the bill text. Data from GovInfo on the bills' committees, sponsors, and cosponsors are also available.
Topic labels
Bill text is joined to two sets of topic labels. The Congresssional Research Service tags bills with non-exclusive topic labels. Because these tags are numerous and specific, the top 250 most common tags were aggregated into roughly two dozen broader policy areas, which are the labels a that appear in this dataset. The Congressional Bills Project labeled landmark legislation from 1973 to 2017 with a single major topic label and a single minor topic label.
