Sources and method

The legislative pipeline for technology, AI and data: bills and where they stand, floor votes and hearings, enacted laws, executive orders, resolutions and treaties, and landmark court rulings that strike down, block or uphold a tech law. It covers the U.S. Congress and federal executive actions, all 50 states and DC, the EU, the UN, the African Union, the Council of Europe and national legislatures such as the UK, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Brazil, Australia and Italy.

Regulations (regulations.fru.dev) covers rules once they are in force and the compliance deadlines they set. Lawsuits (lawsuits.fru.dev) covers court cases. Legislations follows measures while they move and the news they make; when a law is also on Regulations, or a ruling’s case is on Lawsuits, the item links there.

An agent runs every day at 13:40 UTC and again on weekday evenings at 23:40 UTC. It reads Congress.gov, the Federal Register, the UK Parliament Bills API, EU and UN press offices and governors’ newsrooms, then searches the news. Items from official sources are marked verified; items found in the news are marked unverified until checked.

Four steps: introduced, in committee, passed a floor vote, and law. Passed both chambers fills most of the third step. A vetoed, failed or withdrawn measure shows where it stopped, in grey. Rulings, orders and resolutions are one step: done when issued or adopted.

No. Party is the sponsor’s party as the legislature records it (D, R or I for U.S. measures), a bipartisan chip means sponsors from both parties, and vote tallies are copied from the record. There is no scoring or commentary.
