PolicyPal DC: Council Tracker

PolicyPal DC follows the Council of the District of Columbia the way you’d follow a train: every bill rides a line, and you can see exactly where it is and where it stops next. THE LINE Every bill moves through the same stops: introduced, committee, public hearing, markup, first reading, second reading, the Mayor’s desk, Congressional review, and DC Law. PolicyPal shows which stop a bill has reached, when the next one is scheduled, and alerts you when it moves. ONLY IN DC DC is the only place where Congress reviews every act before it becomes law: 30 legislative days, or 60 for criminal laws. PolicyPal tracks that stop too. SEE HOW YOUR WARD VOTED Every roll call is drawn as the 13-seat Council dais. Tap a seat to see how each Councilmember voted, with your ward member highlighted. TODAY: THE DEPARTURES BOARD Open the app to see what’s moving this week, the next stop for each bill, and a countdown to the next legislative meeting.
