Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
Bills (proposed laws) are specialized, structured documents with great public significance. Often, the language of a bill may not directly explain the potential impact of the legislation. This dataset collects the text of bills and metadata that can identify and categorize bills. As a result, this dataset collects bill text; it also provides text as a list of sections with the text and header. The policy area and legislative subjects are categories assigned to each bill by specialist researchers at the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress. With these labels, it should be possible to train models to autoclassify bills.
Source Data
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
The data consists of the US congressional bills that were collected from the govinfo.gov service provided by the United States Government Publishing Office (GPO) under CC0-1.0 license.
