Share Bill Watch Lists With Other Concerned
Citizens
Utah.Gov today announced new updates to the features of its Utah
Bill Watch mobile application. The award winning Bill Watch free
app helps concerned citizens track bills and receive instant
updates as bills move through the Utah Legislature. The newly added
features allow users to create and share lists of legislative
priorities with like-minded advocates.
“We see transparency as a priority in the legislature,” said
Rep. Brad Wilson, vice chair of the Executive Appropriations
Committee. “Services like Bill Watch at Utah.Gov are a great way
for our constituents to stay up-to-date on current legislation and
public policy. Bill watch will help Utahans become more
informed.”
The Bill Watch application allows citizens who want to stay on
top of legislative issues to search for bills by topic,
legislator's name, or bill number, and to receive updates directly
to your mobile device via push notification. In 2013, Utah was the
first state to create a mobile tracking service for state
legislation. The app is provided by the official website for the
state of Utah, Utah.Gov, and the Utah State Legislature
(le.utah.gov). Bill Watch is one of hundreds of award winning
services provided by Utah.Gov.
"Bill Watch is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in
following the Utah legislature,” said Chip Dawson,
Intergovernmental Affairs, eight years at the Utah legislature.
"Finally we have a tool that allows citizens and government
relations professionals to get real-time legislative updates on
their mobile device."
Bill Watch Features:
- Create and share collections of similar
bills
- Search for Utah bills by topic, bill
number, legislator's name
- Subscribe to one or several bills to
watch
- Receive push notifications when the
bill status changes

The application was selected as a finalist for the National
Association of State Chief Information Officers IT Recognition
Awards in the State Fast Track Solutions category.
