Go from Bill Alert to Briefing on State Legislation Faster than Ever with PolicyNote
Cut your state legislation tracking time from hours to minutes with PolicyNote's AI summaries, real-time alerts, stakeholder data, and dynamic reporting.
2025 State Sessions Recap: The Busiest & Most Effective States
Discover which U.S. states passed the most legislation in 2025, which were most effective, and how party control shaped outcomes.
State legislation moves quickly. During the 2025 state sessions, more than 135,500 bills were introduced across state legislatures. That’s a lot of policy to sort through, follow, and act on. If watching bills and regulations in one or more states is part of your job, ask yourself these three questions:
- What’s my greatest concern related to tracking bills?
- What’s the biggest drain on my time right now?
- How often do I need to report my findings to stakeholders?
Here are the most common answers we hear:
- “The fear of missing something in a bill, or missing it altogether, keeps me up at night.”
- “We’re a small team keeping up with what’s happening in several states. Searching and finding bills, and keeping track of their status, takes up time that could be used focusing on other things.”
- “I spend upwards of an hour or two a day briefing and writing reports on what’s happening with legislation at a state level.”
Sound familiar? What if we said you could do all of the above in just minutes every day? With PolicyNote, you can. PolicyNote is your one-stop shop for all your state session needs, from tracking bills to engaging with stakeholders to district mapping.
Track Like a Bloodhound
Each year, the states introduce thousands of bills, with even more actions, amendments, and documents attached to each one in all 50 states and D.C. that could affect your organization.
You can’t afford to sift through hundreds of bills that have no relevance. You need to be able to find and be alerted to the ones that matter, in seconds.
No matter the size of your staff or how efficient they are, if you’re a busy organization tracking multiple bills, you have to use a state-tracking tool to feel confident you’re not missing something important.
But not all tools are created equally.
That’s why we created PolicyNote, the fastest, easiest-to-use product out there.
With PolicyNote’s simple-to-use custom discovery alerts, Our AI summaries make it faster than ever to understand if a bill could impact your organization.

I don’t have the hours in a day to track everything singlehandedly. It used to take a lot of time and staff to do that, but with PolicyNote, I can quickly summarize, put the issue in context, and see if the bill is being duplicated in other states.

So you found what you were looking for. Now what?
We all know unearthing that bill is only the beginning. While you’re busy thinking about how your organization will react, you also need to be aware of any activity associated with that bill you’re watching. And possibly multiple other bills happening concurrently, in the same state, or any number of states. That’s next to impossible without setting up an alert system to update you as soon as anything changes.
PolicyNote can track any movement on the bills you’re following, and you’ll get a heads-up as soon as something happens.
Go further and compare bill versions and find similar legislation through real-time legislative research with our AI assistant.
Not only are you protecting yourself against missing another bill, you’re ensuring you’ll never miss another bill action. The best part is you’ll be the first to know, and you’ll never miss your window of opportunity to act.
