About Maryland Legi-Assist
- Automated Data Sync: The system connects nightly to the Maryland General Assembly (MGA) to download and index the latest bill texts, adopted amendments, and fiscal notes.
- AI-Enhanced Analysis: It utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) to interpret complex legislative PDFs—specifically handling strikethroughs and amendments—to generate plain-language summaries, stakeholder mappings, and fiscal impact analyses.
- Agency Relevance Scoring: The tool evaluates every introduced bill against grounded descriptions of over 120 state entities, assigning a relevance score to help agencies filtering out noise.
- Workflow Optimization: Agency users can instantly identify high-priority legislation, track upcoming hearing dates, and export structured data for internal policy review processes.
