Andrew recently brought you an update concerning our work on a unified Congressional Committee Calendar. So, what’s new for Congress.gov in November?
The latest enhancements include an update to the legislation and committee report search forms. Both forms now display committee selection lists that reflect committee name changes throughout the years. Also, legislation search results for a single Congress now include a subcommittee filter so you can more effectively narrow down your search results.

The latest Congress.gov Enhancements include:
