Legislative Congress Inventory
The Inventory helps users explore and track evidence-based legislation from the 118th and 119th Congress. You can view real-time bill status, filter by issue area and see where bills include evidence-related provisions. This tool is designed to support Congressional offices in developing new legislation, reintroducing existing bills and advancing policies that strengthen the use of evidence in policymaking.
To search for relevant legislation, filter by Session, Chamber, Sponsor, Cosponsors, Committees, Evidence Provision and Issue Area.
Each bill displays up to three badges indicating its related evidence provision: Includes an Evidence Definition, Defines and Prioritizes Evidence and Builds Evidence. Additional issue area badges highlight the policy areas the legislation addresses.
Click the legislation to view additional information, such as a summary, sponsorship and information about how it advances evidence.
If you know of legislation that should be included in the Federal Evidence-Based Legislative Inventory, we encourage you to flag it for our team’s review. For questions about navigating this resource or to suggest legislation for inclusion, please contact our team.
