Commercial announcement
LobbyUp, a legislative tracking tool first developed in Arkansas, is now available in Florida as part of the company’s 14-state expansion. The software application allows a user to track all filed legislation and search by keyword, legislator, legislative committee and state office directory. It also allows users to find their legislators and see live streams of legislative meetings and sessions.
These powerful tools are being offered to the public for free. LobbyUp offers professional lobbyists, associations and advocates additional tools and options.
“We’re extremely excited to expand our coverage area and look forward to being nationwide. This is the first time everyday citizens will have the same tools as professional lobbyists. It’s a lot of power in the palm of your hand,” said Bradley Phillips, President and CEO of LobbyUp.
The Arkansas-based company has been in business for nine years and gained fame in the state when it was downloaded over 50,000 times. The new nationwide free app is available for Android and iOS.
“Legislative tracking tools typically cost thousands of dollars, so citizens have never had this kind of access. With LobbyUp, users literally have a window into the legislative process. A state can pass three or four thousand laws in three months. Our users can search and see all of these bills, their sponsors and how legislators voted on a bill for free.
"For a low fee of 99 cents users can receive notifications when bills change status. We have an advanced tool that allows the user to enter multiple keywords and see all bills that contain those keywords. People have never had access to these types of tools for this kind of price,” said Phillips.
The company also sells LobbyUp Pro, a program designed for professional advocates, for $779 per year. It contains basic tracking tools but offers unique features such as automatic reports, daily agendas displaying all tracked bills in committees, vote checklists and a unique feature that allows users to organize their bills with tags and view all bills being tracked. The Web-based program has a 15-day, no credit card free trial and syncs with the mobile application.
More information about the services offered can be found at LobbyUp.com. LobbyUp is owned by Phillips Management and Consulting Services, a lobbying firm and application development company North Two Five.
