Legislative intelligence platform
Legislative View connects IRS Form 990 grants, official bill positions, and copied legislation across all 50 states, with every claim linked to its primary source.
See the organizations behind a policy, the coalitions surrounding it, and where the same legislative language is spreading next.
Public records only. Every material claim traces to the document it came from.
Coverage as of July 2026. See data coverage and refresh dates.
The evidence graph
Legislative View connects financial disclosures, organization identities, official policy positions, coalition activity, and similar legislation across states. Instead of reviewing each source in isolation, analysts see the relationships in one defensible research workflow. Select any step below to inspect the underlying evidence.
Product category
Traditional legislative platforms tell you what a bill says and where it is in the process. Legislative View shows the network around it: the organizations taking positions, the funders connected to those organizations, the coalitions surrounding the issue, and where similar legislative language is appearing in other states.
IRS Form 990 Schedule I and 990-PF grant line items, normalized and matched to an organization registry by EIN and name.
Official support and oppose records drawn from committee analyses, with organizations ranked by sustained engagement rather than one-time appearances.
Sentence-transformer scoring compares bill text across all 50 states, with a cross-state filter so in-state companion bills do not create noise.
Provenance is the product
Legislative View does not ask users to trust a black-box AI summary. Every material relationship is linked to the underlying filing, legislative record, or official source so analysts can verify the evidence themselves.
Open the original Form 990 filing. Review the organization's official position. Compare the legislative text. The evidence stays attached to the analysis.
Center for Democracy & Technology is recorded as supporting CA AB 2930 in the Senate Floor Analyses for the 2023-2024 session1.
Separately, Ford Foundation reported grants to the organization in tax years 2021 through 2023, including $1,250,000 for its Algorithmic Fairness and Disability Rights Program2.
These are two independently documented public records. No coordination or influence is asserted3.
Cross-state intelligence
Detect substantially similar bill text across states, identify the organizations active around each version, and understand how the surrounding coalition changes by jurisdiction. Legislative View connects cross-state bill similarity with official organization positions and IRS 990 funding relationships in one sourced evidence graph.
Pairwise similarity scoring surfaces substantially similar language between bills in different states, with the matched passages identified.
See which organizations appear on the record in each state, and how support and opposition shift between jurisdictions.
Connect the organizations on record to the grant relationships disclosed in public IRS filings.

Data coverage and freshness
Legislative records and financial filings move on different clocks. Bill and position data refresh as official records publish. Funding relationships reflect the latest available IRS filing year, which lags current legislative activity by design.
Bill text, sponsors, and amendment history across all 50 states. 7,494 bills and 16,919 text versions indexed.
Official support and oppose records from committee analyses. 4,409 positions from 2,147 organizations.
Schedule I and 990-PF grant records. Tax year 2024 filings are still publishing and are incomplete.
Methodology
In plain language, so a reader can judge the work rather than take it on faith.
IRS Form 990 Schedule I and 990-PF Part XV grant line items; state legislature bill text, sponsors and amendment history; official committee position records. Public records only.
Names are normalized and matched to an organization registry. Matches are recorded by type, for example exact EIN match or exact name match, and the status travels with the claim.
Sentence-transformer embeddings score pairwise text similarity across states above a defined threshold, with an explicit cross-state filter so companion bills within one state do not dominate results.
The platform documents relationships found in public records. A documented grant and a documented position are reported as separate facts. Coordination, influence, intent, and causation are never inferred from adjacency alone.
Ambiguous identity matches are queued for human review rather than published automatically. Unresolved items are shown as unverified instead of being presented as fact.
Form 990 data is annual and lags legislative activity. Committee records vary in completeness by state. Similarity scoring identifies textual overlap, not authorship or origin.
