Advocacy Group Scales to 50-State Legislative Monitoring
Challenge: A national advocacy organization was manually tracking legislation across 12 priority states. They needed to expand to all 50 but couldn't hire three times the staff.
Solution: LegiTrack automated bill discovery, tracking, and alerting across all 50 states plus federal legislation.
Results:
- Expanded from 12 to 50 states without adding staff
- Reduced time from bill introduction to response by 80%
- Identified 340% more relevant bills than manual methods
- Policy team now focuses on strategy, not data entry
The Challenge
The organization's policy team spent most of their time on data collection:
- Manually checking state legislature websites daily
- Copying bill text into spreadsheets
- Trying to identify which bills might affect their issues
- Chasing updates on bills they were already tracking
With only 12 states covered, they were missing critical legislation in the other 38. But they couldn't afford to triple their team to reach national coverage.
The Solution
LegiTrack automated the entire legislative intelligence workflow:
Automated Bill Discovery AI-powered search identifies relevant bills across all 50 states based on issue keywords, semantic similarity to past priorities, and sponsor relationships.
Real-Time Tracking Every bill they care about is tracked automatically. Status changes trigger instant alerts.
Prioritized Intelligence Not every bill matters equally. LegiTrack's analysis helps the team focus on legislation most likely to move and most relevant to their mission.
The Transformation
Before LegiTrack
Staff spent 25+ hours per week on manual tracking. They covered 12 states and still missed important bills. Response time averaged 2-3 weeks from bill introduction to organizational awareness.
After LegiTrack
The same team now monitors all 50 states plus federal legislation. They respond within 48 hours of bill introduction. And they spend their time on strategy and action—not data collection.
By the Numbers
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| States Tracked | 12 | 50 + Federal |
| Weekly Staff Hours (Tracking) | 25+ | 5 |
| Avg. Response Time | 2-3 weeks | 48 hours |
| Bills Identified Annually | 180 | 800+ |
Key Takeaways
- Manual legislative tracking doesn't scale
- AI-powered discovery finds bills human searches miss
- Automation frees policy staff for high-value work
