The House of Representatives is asking developers and the general public for ideas concerning the House’s interest in collaborative legislative drafting. Collaborative legislative drafting is where multiple political legislative offices, internal expert offices and agencies, and outside stakeholders (from federal agencies to civil society to interest groups) are able to view and make suggestions on drafts of legislation. The RFI is available here.

The Congressional Data Task Force announced it will hold its next public meeting on March 19, 2024, from 2-4pm ET. This hybrid meeting will occur both in person and virtual.

The House of Representatives and Senate follow their own calendars for when they are in session. They each make their respective information publicly available, but generally not in a digital format. The print PDFs that they publish likely are hard to read for people with visual disabilities. And there’s no official combined version.

In light of these omissions, I’ve gone ahead and published a combined House and Senate calendar in a digital format. You can use the following link to access the calendar for your Google calendar account, access a public-facing iCal version, and view the calendar from a web browser.
