Locus Local Legislation
by api.locus.report in News & content
Returns one LegiScan or Legistar headline bill for an address, covering zoning, ADU, rental or tax items. Returns the same records as locus_local_legislation. Use this when your client can only call paid x402 routes. Use locus-local-policy-brief instead when you need the full matched set, bill-text provisions, status history and property-class mapping. Not legal advice.
