Clients

You describe your client and then BillFold finds relevant bills.

You define the positions they hold, the statutes that govern them, the programs they run. From then on every bill filed in Olympia is read against that description. You don't go looking for their bills, they come looking for you.

Session

BillFold reviews every bill and determines its impact on your client.

Session is loud. As bills are filed and amended, BillFold assesses each one against each client so you can sort your book by what actually needs you.

BillFold shows you a relevance score from 0 to 100. Matches and scores are based on the keywords, statutes and profile you wrote.

Receive a weekly report on relevant bills, read with your client's interests in mind. On the rare quiet day it simply says you're clear.

AMENDMENT CHANGES · FOR CASCADE HEALTH

The adopted amendment narrows the exemption to firms under 100 employees.

Why it matters: their Tacoma facilities lose the carveout your position depends on.

Immediate action: contact the sponsor before the concurrence vote.

For Puget Sound Freight, the same amendment reads no change.
When the bill changes, the analysis says so.
Each analysis is written for one version of the bill. When the bill is amended, BillFold marks the old analysis as out of date so you don't rely on it, and you can generate a new one.

When you need the depth

Open any bill, see who it hits.

Open a bill and you see every client it touches, each with its own analysis. When an amendment lands, you see what changed and what it means for each client. Ask a question and the answer cites the section it relies on, with a link into the text.

The data comes straight from the Legislature's own systems, and every answer links to its source.
