New features, improvements, and fixes in LobbyGov, newest first.
Enterprise Dashboard Panel Tracking List Filter Fix
November 12, 2026 · Fixed
Dashboard panels set up to show only bills on a particular tracking list were coming up empty. The panel was ignoring tracking-list information entirely, so no bill ever counted as a match. Panels now show the bills that are on the chosen tracking list.
The same fix applies to several other panel filters that had the same problem: bill category, watched bills, assigned templates (lead and non-lead), and “only show the most recent bill version”. Panels using the “not” form of these filters (for example “not tracked in”) were showing every bill and will now correctly show fewer.
Hearings Manager Updates
March 26, 2026 · Improved · Enterprise, Notifications and Alerts, Hearings Manager
LobbyGov has made several updates/improvements to the Hearings Manager functionality.
- Information will now be displayed to more clearly denote when a legislative event was canceled or removed from the agenda on the Hearings Manager tabs for liaisons and administrators.
- Information will now be displayed on the reviewer hearing manager tasks interface, denoting when a legislative event was canceled or removed from the agenda.
- Hearings task change alerts are now controlled by a setting on the Bill Analysis > Configuration > Settings > Communications tab. If enabled, LobbyGov will send email alerts when an assigned legislative hearing agenda item is canceled or otherwise removed from the agenda.
Compare all bill version documents
May 5, 2025 · New
The Bill Comparison Tool under Tools & Wizards has been updated to allow you to compare all the different bill language documents, including all amendments. This came up because users could not compare the "Passed Legislature" version to the previous version. This has been updated.
Change Name of Watch List
January 12, 2025 · New
Change Request:
Users get confused with "Watch List" vs. "Watch Bills". Can we change the Watch List to "Personal List"?
Admins can customize the name of the Watch Bills page.
Update to Bill Analysis Display Order in Popup Windows
January 5, 2025 · New
Before today, when users clicked a bill number to view details, bill analysis information was displayed with the oldest or first bill analysis appearing. This has been changed so that the most recent version displays first, giving users easier access to the most recent analysis

Review BA bill still showing up after being deleted
December 23, 2024 · Fixed, New
While testing how the BA Queue “watch” list and Tracking list integrate and ran into an issue. Added a random bill, HB 1001, to the BA queue and assigned it as “watch with no assignment” under airport dept to see if they could then add it to our tracking list from the watch list. It did that, but once they deleted the bill, it still has the designation that it’s in BA, but this empty box shows up:
It has been fixed to not show the pop-up box.

Watch Bills Functionality
December 29, 2020 · New · Enterprise, Bill Analysis
This feature adds functionality to allow users with the appropriate permissions to add bills for Watch instead of for bill analysis. The Add Bills windows/pages will include an option under each department to add as a Watch bill.
This feature must be activated on the Bill Analysis > Configuration > Settings page. There is an on/off switch and a box to customize the name of "Watch" bills.
Launched 12/29/2020

December 3, 2020 · Improved · User Management
