FastDemocracy is an amazing US bill tracker. Sign up for a free account or pay a subscription fee for more features (posted 04/24/25)
You can use FastDemocracy to track bills at the national or state level. This amazingly powerful tool will save political geeks and engaged citizens so much time.
FastDemocracy has a free version with more limited capabilities and a subscription version with more features. But for most engaged citizens, the free version will be plenty enough.
We’ve just started playing with this tool and are most impressed. FastDemocracy could have saved us a ton of time and trouble during the 2025 legislative season. Oh well! We’ll be ready for 2026!
Brief Description (from website)
FastDemocracy Free is for politically interested individuals who want to casually follow along with legislation and want to contact their legislators.
FastDemocracy Professional is for Government relations professionals, nonprofits, advocacy groups, businesses, law firms, associations, legislators and journalists. Basically, for anybody who needs the best legislative tools and information to succeed with their advocacy goals.
ED NOTE
We used the Chat feature to ask the price of the Professional version on 04/24/25. The answer: Our pricing is $3,000/state/year. This comes with 3 users and Congress tracking.Online Help

Example
We searched for S1210 (we also could have searched for text such as medical freedom, which would have returned more bills). All links shown shortened below:
Link received after S1210 search: tinyurl.com/4nyjd4kd
Returned related bills along with many clickable links that allow drill-down for more information.
Clicked link for bill number S1210. Second link received: tinyurl.com/f4m7b3rj
This is the main page for the bill, which provides incredible details about the bill, including summary, text, news items, votes, history and more. Again, you can drill down for more information.
