How to search for bills from a previous session

Use Plural's advanced search options to search for bills from one or more past sessions

By default, Plural searches within the current session (or most recent session if there is no currently active session).

To do a bill search within one or more past sessions, go to Plural's bill search page.

Once on the bill search page, click the lever icon that is located just to the left of the "Search" button to open up advanced search options.

Click "Sessions" directly below the search bar (to the furthest left).

From the "Sessions" dropdown menu, you can select one or more previous sessions that you'd like to search within.
