Compare Bills Instantly and Spot Differences That Matter

When you’re tracking legislation, small changes can have big implications. A single amendment or change in the text can shift funding priorities, reshape regulatory language, or redefine an entire policy intent. Identifying those changes used to mean combing through lengthy texts line by line. A time-consuming process that left room for oversight.

Bill comparison in PolicyNote changes that. You can now instantly compare two bills or different versions of the same bill, and see exactly what’s changed, what’s stayed consistent, and quickly get insights on what matters most.

See Policy Changes Clearly, Without the Manual Work

The new bill comparison feature makes it effortless to identify differences between legislative texts. Whether you’re analyzing one bill version to the next, evaluating parallel legislation, or preparing a stakeholder briefing, PolicyNote gets you right to the implications without the need to conduct a manual, line-by-line review.

With bill comparison, you can:

• Compare Relevant & Similar Bills: Choose from policy documents related to the item you’re viewing (linked by source) or similar bills (identified by the AI Assistant).
• Compare Any Two Bills: Search and select any bills, even those without explicit connections, to uncover overlapping policy themes.
• Compare Bill Versions: Track how a bill evolves from introduction to enactment, seeing exactly how language and priorities shift over time.

Choose the View That Fits Your Workflow

Bill comparison offers two flexible viewing options so you can analyze changes in the way that’s most useful to you:

• Side-by-Side View Review both bills next to each other, complete with document stats like word count for quick reference.
• Redline View See a unified text with additions and deletions highlighted. Choose your level of detail, from individual words to full paragraphs, to focus your review.

A built-in search bar lets you find terms across both documents simultaneously, making it easy to trace topics or funding references with precision.

Bill comparison goes beyond visual comparison. With the AI Assistant, you can now:
