WHAT THE LAW DOINCongress, in plain words

The law, and what Congress is changing

Federal law is organized in the United States Code: 54 titles, each a subject, divided into chapters and sections. Every bill that passes rewrites part of it. Here is where this Congress's bills land.

689 sections of law changed or proposed to change41 titles touched119th Congress

Changes are read from each bill's official text: every instruction that amends a section of the Code. A section counts once per title however many bills touch it. Only bills we track are counted; more are added every few hours.
