In washex: Washington State Legislative Explorer

Description

Get the current status of a given bill

Usage

getCurrentStatus(
  biennium,
  billNumber,
  paired = TRUE,
  type = c("df", "list", "xml")
)

Arguments

biennium	Character vector representing the biennium(s) to be searched. Each argument should take the form "XXXX-YY"
billNumber	Character or numeric vector containing the bill number(s) to be retrieved.
paired	If TRUE, will assume that equal length vectors represent paired data. Set to FALSE to generate an NxN grid of input arguments. Applies to equal length vector inputs only.
type	One of "df", "list", or "xml". Specifies the format for the output.

getCurrentStatus returns an object of type equal to the type argument (defaults to dataframe)

Note

This function returns the bill's status as of today. If a bill was never passed, it lists the most recent status. To get a bill's complete history, use getStatusChanges

Examples

getCurrentStatus("2007-08", "1001")

## Not run: 
billNums <- getLegislationByYear("2011")
status <- getCurrentStatus("2011-12", billNums$billNumber)
## End(Not run)
