	## Dataset Creation

	### Curation Rationale

	[More Information Needed](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-contribute-to-the-dataset-cards)

	### Source Data

	#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

	The data consists of three parts: US training bills, US test bills and California test bills. The US bills were collected from the [Govinfo](https://github.com/unitedstates/congress) service provided by the United States Government Publishing Office (GPO) under CC0-1.0 license. The California, bills from the 2015-2016 session are available from the legislature’s [website](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/).
