District of Columbia Council Legislative Tracking

Stay ahead of every bill, hearing, amendment, and vote before the Council of the District of Columbia.

USLege tracks Council legislation, hearings, votes, and agency rulemaking in real time, with searchable transcripts and AI-powered alerts.

Beyond the Bill Text

USLege Tracks What's Said

In the District, what's said in a Council committee is just as important as what's written in the legislation. USLege uses advanced AI to:

  • Transcribe and summarize Council hearings, agency meetings, and markups
  • Alert you when relevant issues are discussed or mentioned
  • Turn spoken conversations into searchable, actionable insights

With USLege, you can monitor what matters without being in the room, and without missing a word.
