Methodology

"Collected" refers to the date OmniLegislation's pipeline ingested and deduplicated each record, not the source date on the document. Counts are deduplicated processed records from OmniLegislation's own pipeline. Dates labeled "source date" reflect the date_filed field on the original record and may precede collection by days, weeks, or months. Bill actions cover tracked bills only.
