Congressional web site

Government is an ever-growing part of every business. There are constantly new regulations regarding taxation, environment, employment, safety, and so much more. Congress seems to have a constant stream of bills and pending legislation which can potentially impact small businesses, so it is incumbent upon business owners to be aware of bills in order to express opinions to representatives and senators and to prepare for the ramifications of enacted legislation.

I was just made aware of the Thomas (after Thomas Jefferson) site of the Library of Congress that provides up-to-the-minute legislative information. To test it I did a search on “Free choice act” which listed bills before the house and senate relating to the “Employee Free Choice Act of 2009″. Digging further one is able to read the entire text of the bills, see congressional action, and related information. What a great wealth of data. Check out the site at http://thomas.loc.gov/
