In past years, updates to the Legislation Page were posted to the Home Page on nearly every Monday. However, that is when the Government Printing Office (GPO) and Congress.gov updated legislation in about 2 or 3 days after the legislation was introduced. That has changed dramatically.
Currently, GPO and Congress.gov now update legislation 2 weeks or more after it is introduced. To counter the agencies' tardiness, I tried to find online Press Releases issued by the sponsors of the legislation that explains the legislation. However, the Press Releases have dried up.
As a result, I still update the Legislation page every 2 weeks but don't post that it has been updated because I never know if and when the GPO and Congress.gov will update the legislation.

I would post an opinion of the situation, but it my be tainted by my political views. So I'll just say: thank you for doing the best you can under these circumstances.

I think I may have found a solution by using a different government service. If so, I think I can begin updating them this weekend.
When dealing with the federal government, one must know "the workaround." If I can, I will deal with it.
