bills_upcoming: Get Upcoming Bills

In zamorarr/ppcongress: ProPublica Congress API

Description

Use this request type to get details on bills that may be considered by the House or Senate in the near future, based on scheduled published or announced by congressional leadership. The bills and their potential consideration are taken from the House Majority Leader and floor updates from Senate Republicans. The responses include a legislative_day attribute which is the earliest the bills could be considered, and a range attribute that indicates whether the bill information comes from a weekly schedule or a daily one. Combine the two for the best sense of when a bill might come up for consideration. For Senate bills, the response includes a context attribute reproducing the sentence that includes mention of the bill. These responses omit bills that have not yet been assigned a bill number or introduced, and additional bills may be considered at any time.
