Navigating the legislative website
An introduction to the legislative website: we will review the homepage and learn how to find bill information, your district and legislators, legislator contact information, committee information, common ways to look up bills, and how to find current state laws and codes.
Advanced legislative website navigation
An advanced look at the legislative website: we will take a deeper dive away from the homepage and learn advanced ways to search for bills, detailed legislative reports, bill tracking account, find archived videos on tvw.org, find past versions of state laws and rules, and use the legislative search function to search the text of bills, state laws, state codes, and more.
