Comparing bill versions
The Bill Version Comparison agent, in the Regulatory department, fetches two published versions of a federal bill from Congress.gov and explains what changed, never what it means.
Give it
- Compare H.R. 1234
- Compare S. 2094 from the 116th Congress (add the congress for an older bill)
- watch “data broker”, “preemption” (changes containing a watch term are listed first; that is a plain text filter on the change text, not a judgment of significance)
- Name two versions for a different pair; by default it compares the introduced version against the latest, and it always lists every version that exists.
What it never does: it explains what changed, never what it means, and it never misses or invents a change (the comparison runs in deterministic code). If Congress.gov or the bill text can’t be reached, it says so plainly and invents nothing.
What you get back
A plain-language explanation organized by significance, an inline redline of the exact changes, and the list of every text version Congress.gov holds so you can ask about a different pair. Exporting the reply to Word includes the complete change set beneath the explanation.
