When state legislatures across the U.S. convene each January, a flurry of legislative activity ensues, often resulting in the introduction of approximately 200,000 new bills and government measures. For professionals in government affairs, compliance, and legal sectors, keeping ahead of this deluge of data is a formidable challenge. LexisNexis State Net has positioned itself as a critical tool in managing this overwhelming flow of information.

LexisNexis State Net, integrating with Lexis+ AI and other LexisNexis solutions, offers a user-friendly interface that keeps users informed about legislative activities and status actions in their areas of interest. A standout feature of this platform is its use of generative AI, which provides users with guided insights into the potential impacts of legislative measures.

The platform doesn't stop at legislative forecasting; it also includes a new Regulatory Analytics feature that utilizes machine learning and decades of regulatory data to predict the outcomes of regulatory measures. This helps users make confident, data-driven decisions quickly and efficiently.

State Net's functionality extends beyond simple legislative tracking. It allows users to search for specific legislation using general terms or precise identifiers, like a bill’s name or number. The platform offers detailed views of bills, including the most recent text versions and metadata on amendments. A newly introduced generative AI feature automatically summarizes key aspects of the bills, highlighting major changes and the entities affected.

For comparative analysis, State Net includes tools that display side-by-side comparisons of different bill versions and tracks the progress of measures, keeping users updated with the latest developments, upcoming committee hearings, and votes.

Moreover, the platform's "Momentum Meter" indicates the speed at which a bill is moving through the legislative process, providing additional context and forecasting whether the measure is likely to become law.

One of the most innovative aspects of State Net is its tagging system in the tracking center, which allows users to link measures to specific clients, track the likelihood of a bill becoming law, and add custom notes. This feature is particularly useful for large law departments or law firms that need to monitor a broad array of topics simultaneously.

In addition, once a bill is enacted, State Net includes code impact tables that show all existing laws and regulations affected by the new law. These tables link directly to Lexis+, where users can access the full text of the measure and employ tools like Code Compare to see detailed changes in context.

State Net’s extensive capabilities highlight its role as an indispensable resource for legal professionals, compliance analysts, and government affairs experts, enabling them to navigate the complexities of state legislation and regulation effectively. With the integration of generative AI, LexisNexis State Net is not just keeping pace with technological advancements but is setting a new standard in legal and regulatory data management.
