Search for any bills introduced in Congress by the U.S. Senators or U.S. Representatives from your home state in the last five years. First, find the names of the senators and representatives for your state at: Members of Congress on the Govtrack site.

Then, choose the name of one of the senators/representatives from your state in the drop-down menu under “Sponsor” in the left column under “Search” and select one bill from the results. Use the Advanced Search for Legislation feature on the Govtrack site.

What did you find? Give a summary of the bill’s purpose and whether it became law.
