Bringing Clarity to State Legislatures — in Real Time

StateLens is a public-interest transparency project that organizes legislative data, schedules, and published perspectives so legislative activity is easier to understand — before decisions are made.

What Is StateLens?

State legislatures move fast.
Thousands of bills are filed, amended, and scheduled in compressed timeframes. Committee agendas shift daily. Floor calendars change by the hour.

StateLens exists to bring order to that complexity.

By combining official legislative records with state-specific context and published organizational perspectives, StateLens provides a single, easy-to-navigate view of what’s happening — and what’s coming next.

What Makes StateLens Different

Built for Public Access

All bills, votes, and legislators — continuously updated and easy to navigate.

State-Specific Context

Committees, leadership roles, and legislative structure unique to each state.

Published Perspectives

Participating organizations may share commentary and assessments, making areas of agreement visible to the public.

Real-Time Schedules

Committee and floor agendas help users understand when legislation will be considered — not just what already happened.
