==How to Search For Bills==
Open the following page: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/browse
Type "entrepreneurship" or other key words in the search bar.
For each individual bill listed, click on the bill and open the page, i.e. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/s1137
On the page, record the bill number "S. 1137", the bill title "PATENT Act", and prognosis "36% chance of being enacted".
If there is "See Instead" under prognosis, there is another bill with this same title introduced to Congress. The two bills contain the same content (for the several bills I have checked). If two bills have the same title but not linked to each other, they still have very similar contents.
Then we click on the "Read Text" and extract the summary of the bill under "A Bill" / "An Act" title: "To amend title 35, United States Code, and the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act to make improvements and technical corrections, and for other purposes."
HTML code:
