A "tag" is no more than a label that groups related legislative proposals, people, or committees together. It is no more than a concept: an abstract idea; a general notion.
Tagging is a powerful way to categorize bills and create value. It allows us to answer questions like these:
Which representative is best to reach out to about education reform?
Show me bills that relate to carbon offset policies.
What are the top priorities for the Wisconsin legislature?
When a bill comes in, anyone can tag it, and much like Wikipedia, we crowdsource information to create a rich and accurate database.
Private tags are visible only to your organization. When you create a tag, it will default to being private.
Good to know: Tags are a very powerful tool. Using them correctly will save you immense time and energy in the long run.
Public tags are visible by anyone, even if they don't have an account. We recommend creating public tags when a tag does not contain proprietary information.
Assembly Bill 1 (AB1) relates to policies surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. While it would be searchable using covid in the bill search page, it is beneficial to tag this as a 🏷️ bill so that it can be more easily be found.
