Now I've created a similar database of roughly 500 trans related federal cases over decades with as many available docket entries as possible. It has document viewer built in, judge reports, expert declaration tracking, etc. all within a vector embedded database with RAG connected to it.

Creating a vector database of nearly 10k LGBTQ related bills from 2004-present. This will allow for semantic search on bills as well as novel textual analysis. It'll include all bill meta data along with hand coded values by the legialerts team. I don't think anything like this has been done before.

I just created www.lgbtqlegislation.com which builds on the work of the LegiAlerts team to provide an interactive data dashboard to look at 20+ years of anti-LGBTQ legislation and especially anti-trans legislation. It also includes an overview of pro-LGBTQ legislation. Check it out!

What remains in New Hampshire to be decided for this term is whether Gov. Ayotte will veto or sign HB 1442, which, like IWV's so-called "Women's Bill of Rights" from 2022, would allow but not require trans segregation in bathrooms, locker rooms, prisons, and athletics. gc.nh.gov/bill_status/...

Tennessee's SB 1741 / HB 1476 also goes into effect today. It's an academic freedom of conscience bill, a model that has been around for a bit. It's named after Charlie Kirk & like many things aimed at permitting hate speech, it purports to be about free speech wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/Billinf...

SB 0468 / HB 0571 - Tennessee's version of Independent Women's Voices "Stand with Women Act" - the 2025 successor to the WBR, goes into effect today, and is named after your favorite fifth place collegiate swimmer. wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/Billinf...

Iowa's HF 864 Law is among the recent ones requiring age verification for online content providers with a specified amount of content determined to be "pornographic for minors". We all want to keep kids safe, but these sorts of laws can paradoxically run counter that. legiscan.com/IA/bill/HF86...

The other Iowa laws effective today that we've tracked are more oblique in how they are anti-LGBTQ+ Iowa's HF 571 is a Medical Freedom of Conscience Bill that says health care providers can't be penalized for not providing services that violate their conscience. legiscan.com/IA/bill/HF57...

Iowa has a few bad new laws that are effective today. The one that is most explicitly anti-LGBTQ+ is SF 473 which allows adoption services or prospective parents to misgender their trans kids or not support their queer kids if their religion/conscience says so. www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/...
