## Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
### Curation Rationale |
|
|
|
Bills (proposed laws) are specialized, structured documents with great public significance. |
|
Often, the language of a bill may not directly explain the potential impact of the legislation. |
|
This dataset collects the text of bills and some metadata. |
|
As a result, this dataset collects bill text; it also provides text as a list of sections with the text and header. |
