Quorum State hub

The parts of Quorum the BMS state team lives in

Searches and regions, bill profiles and sheets, issue tags and stances, dashboards, alerts. Four working areas — with the guides that show you how to run each one.

Every state you cover, in one place.

State legislation tracking

Search state bills across your assigned regions, switch regions without rebuilding a query, and keep a live view of what is moving in the legislatures BMS cares about.

Use it for

  • Finding legislation affecting your states
  • Switching between region sets during session
  • Catching newly introduced bills early

First moves in Quorum

  1. 1. Run a state bill search and save it
  2. 2. Change the region set on an existing search
  3. 3. Open a bill profile to read the text and status

Triage once, and everyone knows where BMS stands.

Bill review, issues & stances

Work bill profiles and bill sheets: read summaries and status, tag bills to your issue taxonomy, assign an internal owner, and record the BMS stance so the position travels with the bill.

Use it for

  • Weekly triage of newly introduced bills
  • Organizing bills by therapeutic or policy issue
  • Setting and maintaining stances

First moves in Quorum

  1. 1. Open the bill sheet for your priority states
  2. 2. Apply issue tags and an owner to each bill
  3. 3. Set the stance and add the internal note behind it

The view your team opens every morning.

Sheets, dashboards & reporting

Sheets are your working lists of bills and officials; dashboards are the shared read-out. Build them once around your issue set and region, then reuse them for stand-ups, leadership updates and end-of-session recaps.

Use it for

  • A shared state tracker for the team
  • Leadership-ready status views
  • Session and quarterly recaps

First moves in Quorum

  1. 1. Build a bill sheet filtered to your issues and states
  2. 2. Add the sheet to a dashboard and share it
  3. 3. Export or present the dashboard for a session update

Let the platform do the checking.

Alerts & workflow automation

Turn saved searches into alerts and scheduled digests so new bills, status changes, hearings and transcripts reach the right person without anyone refreshing a list.

Use it for

  • New-bill alerts during session
  • Status-change notifications on tracked bills
  • Recurring digests to the wider BMS team

First moves in Quorum

  1. 1. Attach an alert to a saved search
  2. 2. Set cadence and recipients
  3. 3. Schedule a recurring sheet or dashboard digest

Session scenarios

The situations that come up across a state session, and the three moves that answer each one.

State Government Affairs

Cover a busy session across multiple states

How do I keep up when several legislatures are in session at once?

Set up one saved search per issue scoped to your regions, put the results on a sheet, and let alerts tell you what changed instead of checking each state by hand.

Three moves

  1. 1Save one search per issue, scoped to your states
  2. 2Put the results on a shared bill sheet
  3. 3Attach an alert and a weekly digest

Happens in State legislation tracking.

State Government Affairs

Run the weekly new-bill triage

How do I work through this week's introductions quickly?

Open the new-introductions view, read the profile summary, tag the issue, assign an owner and set a stance — then leave the rest untracked so the sheet stays honest.

Three moves

  1. 1Filter the sheet to bills introduced this week
  2. 2Tag issue and owner on each keeper
  3. 3Set stance and drop the non-relevant ones

Happens in Bill review, issues & stances.

State Government Affairs leads

Give leadership a state read-out

How do I show what's moving without rebuilding a deck?

Point leadership at a dashboard built from your live sheets, and use Quincy to draft the two-paragraph narrative that sits on top of it.

Three moves

  1. 1Open the dashboard built on your issue sheets
  2. 2Ask Quincy for the week's changes
  3. 3Share the dashboard link with the narrative

Happens in Sheets, dashboards & reporting.

State Government Affairs

Answer 'what is happening on this issue nationally?'

How do I roll up one issue across every state we cover?

Consistent issue tagging is what makes this a one-click answer: filter any sheet by the issue tag and the national picture assembles itself.

Three moves

  1. 1Filter your sheet by the issue tag
  2. 2Group by state and status
  3. 3Save that view for the next time you're asked

Happens in Bill review, issues & stances.

State Government Affairs + Quorum admins

Close out a session cleanly

How do we start next session without last session's mess?

Archive dead bills and searches, reconcile issue tags to the agreed list, and confirm each sheet still has an owner before the new session opens.

Three moves

  1. 1Archive adjourned-session searches and sheets
  2. 2Reconcile issue tags to the agreed taxonomy
  3. 3Confirm an owner for every remaining sheet

Happens in Sheets, dashboards & reporting.
