Ask Anything About Florida Legislation
LobbyScape Intelligence understands legislative terminology and queries the right data sources automatically. Here's what a real conversation looks like.
Start Your Day Informed
Every morning, ask LobbyScape Intelligence what happened overnight. It pulls the latest bill actions, committee schedules, and hearing updates — giving you a complete briefing in seconds instead of 30 minutes of manual website checking.
It can also cross-reference activity against your personal watchlists, highlighting only the developments that matter to you and your clients.
Understand Statutory Impact
When a client asks "How does HB 245 change existing law?", LobbyScape Intelligence doesn't just show you the bill text. It runs a full statute analysis — identifying exactly which sections of Florida Statutes the bill creates, amends, or repeals, and explaining the practical implications.
Follow up with questions about amendments, committee votes, or companion bills — all in the same conversation thread.
Follow the Money
Track appropriations by county, agency, recipient, or legislator sponsor. Ask "How much money is going to Escambia County?" and get a complete breakdown of budget items with totals, agencies, and individual line items.
See budget rankings by entity, compare across counties, or find which legislators are sponsoring the most budget items for your client's region.
Know What Competitors Are Working On
Find out what bills a competing firm is lobbying on, which organizations they represent, and what budget items are connected to their principals. Ask "What bills is Ballard Partners lobbying on?" and get a complete list of their bill registrations.
Or work backwards: "Who lobbies for Disney?" to see all firms, lobbyists, and their legislative activity.
Know Your Legislators Inside and Out
Before any meeting, get a complete legislator profile: committees, leadership roles, sponsored bills, co-sponsored legislation, staff contacts, and district details. Ask follow-up questions like "What bills has she filed on education?" to narrow down.
Combine with committee research: "What bills are pending in her committee?" for complete meeting prep.
