When
state
legislatures
across
the
U.S.
convened
in
early
January,
they
kicked
off
a
process
that
will
likely
produce
200,000
new
bills
and
other
government
measures
this
year,
with
the
vast
majority
introduced
in
the
first
few
weeks.
And
when
some
of
these
bills
ultimately
become
law,
it
may
already
be
too
late
for
government
affairs,
compliance,
and
legal
professionals
to
take
the
necessary
steps
—
or
for
in-house
and
outside
counsel
to
properly
advise
their
client
organizations.
Staying
ahead
of
the
curve
requires
keeping
up
with
and
sifting
through
a
massive
volume
of
data,
and
LexisNexis
State
Net
is
uniquely
equipped
to
meet
these
challenges.
This
platform
integrates
with
Lexis+
AI
and
other
LexisNexis
solutions
to
provide
a
user-friendly
interface,
apprising
you
of
all
of
the
legislative
activities
and
status
actions
in
the
precise
areas
you
need
to
monitor.
State
Net
also
boasts
a
new
generative
AI
feature
that
will
seamlessly
guide
you
through
the
potential
effects
of
a
measure.
Additionally,
the
platform
draws
on
LexisNexis’
unparalleled
historical
data
to
predict
the
likelihood
of
a
bill
becoming
law
as
well
as
how
long
this
could
take,
furthering
your
ability
to
confidently
make
data-driven
decisions.
A
new
Regulatory
Analytics
feature
does
the
same
for
regulatory
measures,
drawing
on
decades
of
regulatory
activity
and
advanced
machine
learning.
You
can
schedule
a
demo
here.

State
Net,

a
Lexis
representative.
Finding
Legislation
Many
users
begin
their
State
Net
research
by
bringing
up
a
particular
piece
of
legislation.
State
Net
allows
you
to
search
by
general
terms
as
well
as
a
bill’s
proper
name
and
number,
and
the
platform
provides
extensive
tags
and
filters
that
will
easily
guide
you
to
the
proper
result.
Once
you’ve
found
a
specific
bill,
State
Net
will
show
you
the
most
recent
version
of
the
text,
along
with
metadata
flagging
how
and
when
it
had
been
changed.
A
new
feature
leverages
generative
AI
to
provide
a
summary
of
the
document
as
you
view
it,
displaying
key
changes,
key
requirements,
affected
individuals
and
organizations,
and
other
data.
State
Net
also
contains
a
tool
that
will
show
you
a
side-by-side
comparison
of
any
different
versions
of
the
bill
you
select.
Meanwhile,
an
overview
feature
will
allow
you
to
follow
the
measure’s
progress.
It
will
display
all
recent
updates
and
upcoming
events
like
committee
hearings
or
scheduled
votes.
Drawing
on
extensive
historical
data,
State
Net
will
also
generate
a
forecast
of
whether
the
measure
is
likely
to
become
law.
Additionally,
it
provides
a
“Momentum
Meter”
that
indicates
whether
a
bill
is
moving
slower
or
faster
than
usual,
along
with
numerous
other
data
points.
State
Net
has
also
introduced
a
Regulatory
Analytics
feature,
which
provides
similar
analysis
to
state
agency
rulemaking.
Finally,
a
tracking
center
appears
with
each
measure
you
select,
allowing
you
to
assign
numerous
types
of
tags.
This
allows
you
to
link
it
to
a
specific
client,
track
bills
based
on
their
likelihood
of
becoming
law,
or
add
your
own
custom
notes,
for
just
a
few
examples.
Casting
a
Wide
(Yet
Highly
Targeted)
Net
Of
course,
researchers
often
don’t
know
the
specific
legislation
they
are
looking
for
and
instead
want
to
stay
on
top
of
a
topic
or
practice
area.
State
Net
has
extensive
capabilities
to
find
everything
you
need
regarding
your
chosen
subject
matter
—
while
weeding
out
everything
you
don’t.
To
begin
a
search
by
topic,
you
can
use
State
Net’s
taxonomy
of
industries
and
practice
areas
and
also
filter
by
factors
like
jurisdiction
and
state.
State
Net
customers
also
have
access
to
LexisNexis’
issue
screening
service,
where
human
research
analysts
will
leverage
technology
to
further
narrow
a
query
to
relevant
results.
The
service
is
particularly
useful
in
the
early
weeks
of
a
new
year,
when
measures
are
introduced
at
a
fast
pace.
Giusti,
the
LexisNexis
representative,
provided
an
example
of
researching
bills
related
to
information
privacy.
A
Boolean
search
will
bring
up
about
20,000
measures.
The
issue
screening
service
reduced
the
number
of
results
to
just
under
8,000,
validated
by
meticulous
human
review.
Tracking
Your
Topic
Once
you’ve
determined
the
measures
you’ll
be
following,
State
Net’s
extensive
tracking
capabilities
set
the
system
apart.
To
get
started,
you
can
view
everything
you
need
to
monitor
in
State
Net’s
tracking
console.
For
example,
you
can
customize
an
email
alert
based
on
your
profile,
which
will
automatically
let
you
know
whenever
there’s
any
activity
in
any
of
the
measures
you’re
tracking.
The
customization
features
are
especially
useful
for
large
law
departments
or
law
firms,
where
the
organization
will
cast
a
much
broader
net
than
individual
practice
areas.
With
the
tagging
feature,
you
can
ensure
that
each
individual
receives
alerts
and
tracks
measures
relevant
to
the
topics
they
need
to
follow,
while
the
broader
organization
has
a
far
wider
scope.
Once
a
bill
is
enacted,
State
Net
includes
code
impact
tables,
which
reference
all
of
the
existing
laws
and
regulations
that
will
be
changed.
The
code
tables
link
directly
to
Lexis+,
where
you
can
view
the
full
text
of
the
measure.
The
Lexis+
Code
Compare
tool
can
be
accessed
as
well,
allowing
you
to
see
the
changes
within
their
full
context.
Additionally,
within
Lexis+
AI
you
can
see
a
generative
AI-based
overview
of
how
a
bill
would
change
a
current
law.
(A
side-by-side
comparison
view
is
also
available.)
