Why some states or cities show no recent bills: Legislatures keep their own calendars. Most state sessions adjourn by late spring, so in summer there is little or no new activity until they reconvene — widen the time range to see end-of-session bills. Several states meet only every other year (e.g. Texas, Montana, Nevada, and North Dakota convene in alternating years), so they show no activity in off years. Local coverage is limited to the cities and counties published through Legistar, and freshness for every level reflects how recently each source last synced.
