Get Legislative Calendar
What it does
Forward-looking legislative catalyst calendar: upcoming House/Senate floor votes (bills and Senate cloture motions) filtered to items that can move tickers.
Each item includes the predicted vote window (start/end/granularity/confidence/provenance), marketRelevance (low/medium/high), significance (1-5), affected sectors with direction + mechanism, verified affected tickers with evidence quotes, pass outlook, considerationProcedure (suspension-calendar bills pass ~98% of the time), a conflictBadge when the sponsor traded a verified affected ticker, and tweet/plain summaries.
An EMPTY calendar is a normal state — it means nothing market-relevant is scheduled in the window, not an error. Defaults: from=today, to=+14 days, minRelevance=low.
IMPORTANT: affectedTickers contains VERIFIED rows only — every ticker carries a verbatim evidenceQuote substring-verified against the actual bill text (no hallucinated tickers). sponsorTradeFacts are restatements of public STOCK Act disclosures with verbatim amount brackets and BOTH transactionDate AND disclosureDate — always cite both dates together (disclosures lag trades by up to 45 days), and never present a fact as evidence of wrongdoing.
Vote windows are predictions: check window.provenance for trust level ('uc_explicit' is exact; 'rule_xxii_computed' is a medium-confidence estimate) and window.granularity for how precise the window is (exact time vs day vs week).
