How Mandate works

The path a bill takes from collection to your Recommended list, Tracked list, alerts and Monday brief.

Mandate collects bills and federal rules, reads each new one against your organization, and tells you which ones matter and why. Here is the path every item takes.

  1. Collect. Mandate gathers legislation from the states your plan covers, and from Congress and federal agencies if you have the Federal add-on.
  2. Assess. Each new bill that matches your search terms is read against your organization description and topics. Mandate writes a short summary, explains why it matters to you, and gives it an impact level.
  3. Recommend. Assessed bills land in Recommended. This is your to-review list. The number next to Recommended in the sidebar shows how many are waiting.
  4. Decide. On each one choose Track to keep following it, or Not relevant to clear it. Either way it leaves Recommended.
  5. Follow. Tracked bills live in Tracked. Turn on tracked bill alerts to hear when they move, and read the Monday brief for the week's most important items.

Your Dashboard pulls the most urgent items, recent library activity, campaigns and alerts onto one screen.

AI assessments are based on available source records, not a full legal reading. Check the official source before acting. Not legal advice.
